Typeface Tuesday: Didot

My go to fonts!

“A little nonsense now and then is relished by the wisest man.”

Didot

Didot Is actually the name for a series of typefaces created by Firmin Didot and Pierre Didot developed from 1784 to 1811 inspired by the typeface Baskerville with thicker stroke and a more slender serifs. Compiling the early designs the Didot brothers, Adrian Frutiger designed this contemporary version version of the typeface for Linotype foundry. There is a something classic and elegant about this font that I like to use in place of script fonts which tend to be too ornate.
