Michael, Style changes within specific fonts between roman and italics are very common, and have been so historically. That said, the stylistic change in the lowercase g in this particular Bodoni is odd to my eyes. I prefer the more traditional italic g found in other cuts of Bodoni. The change in the lowercase a is more expected.
