Dubiel and DubielItalic are TrueType™ fonts modeled on the fonts Torino and Torino Italic. They are similar to a condensed Bodoni, except with lighter strokes. They work well both as text and display fonts. The bitmap fonts have not been retouched, so screen output will be somewhat uneven in small sizes. A PostScript Type 1 version of this font is also available.
FONT SAMPLES
Here is a sample of Dubiel at about 70 points:
And Dubiel Italic:
Both fonts contain a full set of characters, numbers, punctuation and diacritical characters. The FOND resources have not been merged, so if you have both fonts installed you have to choose the font DubielItalic to get DubielItalic -- choosing Dubiel and then the "Italic" style will only slant the Dubiel font by 15 degrees. Sad, but true.
Both fonts have more than 200 kerning pairs installed. They should look pretty good at 12 points at 300-dpi, and fabulous at 48 points and above. The fonts' "signature" characters are located at shift-option-1. You may also be interested with the alternative "Apple" characters in the fonts.

I suppose I should mention that my wife really digs the "2" in the Dubiel font.
