Linotype Didot is based on types cut by Firman Didot in Paris, circa 1783. These types, together with those of Fournier were the forerunners of the modern style so strongly associated with Bodoni. These faces are characterized by vertical stress, abrupt changes from thick to thin strokes and hairline serifs. A good text design, the Linotype Didot font family is suitable for use in books and magazines. Linotype Didot™ is a trademark of Linotype GmbH and may be registered in certain jurisdictions.
