As technology slowly advanced so did typefaces. New tools allowed designers to create more exact, geometrical letters:
Firmin Didot and Giambattista Bodoni became rivals when it came to creating typefaces. They pushed each other to create better typefaces. This rivalry is what influenced the "modern" movement. Today "modern" fonts are used often for Magazines or when there is a need for elegant words:
Modern Typefaces: Bodoni, Didot, ITC Fenice Regular, Melior, New Century Schoolbook
