{\LARGE 3 GFS Didot}\\
|
|
~\\
|
|
Didot is the ``father of modern fonts''. It was created by the famous French
|
|
printing and type producing family between 1784 and 1811. Firmin Didot cut
|
|
the letters, and cast them as type in Paris. His brother, Pierre Didot used
|
|
the types in printing. Together, they are regarded the inventors of the
|
|
neoclassical \emph{Didone} style of typefaces, evocative of the Age of
|
|
Enlightenment.
|
|
|
|
The typeface is characterized by serifs without brackets, vertical
|
|
orientation of weight axes, strong contrast between thick and thin lines,
|
|
and an unornamented, ``modern'' appearance, inspired by John
|
|
Baskerville's earlier experiments with increasing stroke contrast and a more
|
|
condensed armature.
|
|
%Didot resembles the typefaces developed by Giambattista Bodoni in Italy.
|
|
|
|
The \TeX{} version of Didot was created by the \emph{Greek Font Society}, a
|
|
non-profit organization in Greece, founded in 1992, devoted to improving the
|
|
standard of Greek digital typography. Other famous typefaces recreated by
|
|
the GFS include Artemisia, Neohellenic and Bodoni. To use them, put one of
|
|
the following directives in your document header.
