Linotype Didot
Linotype Didot is a refined neoclassical serif typeface characterized by dramatic stroke contrast between hairline thins and bold verticals, creating an elegant and sophisticated appearance. Based on the revolutionary late 18th-century designs by the Didot family, it features perfectly vertical stress, ball terminals, and unbracketed serifs that exemplify the Modern/Didone classification. The typeface exhibits generous x-height proportions and open apertures while maintaining the geometric precision and optical refinement that made the original Didot a symbol of Enlightenment typography. Its sharp contrast and delicate hairlines demand careful sizing and high-quality reproduction to preserve its inherent elegance.
