Grid Issues - Studio brief 2 - OUGD403

As I have been constructing my grid from the original typeface Bodoni, I have encountered some issues. As I effectively traced Bodoni to create the new typeface, I was very reliant on the shape of Bodoni itself. However, as I checked to see if my letterforms fit my original grid, they did not. I have worked out that this is because on every computer, the version of Bodoni is very slightly different. I created my original grid on my own computer and it appears to be different in shape and form. Therefore, I have created a new grid that fits my typeface and the Bodoni version equivalent to the LCA macs. Of course I will need to apply the 3 layered process when creating my regular version.
