Diplomata started several years ago when a friend in the printing industry
who had an old metal typeface wanted it to be digitalized for offset printing.
He brought everything the original type offered as a start, a set of upper
case characters, numbers, and some punctuation marks.

But what he brought in printed form was not enough to meet his needs, and
letterforms that did not exist had to be created. It is a fine job to
reinterpret a design, to make decisions on what already exists and also have
in mind the changes needed for the new technological context where Diplomata
will be used.

Its style, similar to Bodoni, has a remarkable degree of horizontal
expansion; a weight which indicates verticality; areas between serif and stem
softened by a curve connecting them, and the light in the main stroke of each
glyph is a detail that lightens up and gives prominence to Diplomata. It is a
distinct typeface, ideal for composing headlines and small prestigious pieces
of text.

The February 2023 update features a bigger glyphset, fractions and some minor
aesthetic modifications.

To improve and expand the use of Diplomata, it was necessary to create small
caps and
a lower case, which ended up constituting this family that has two variables
today.
