Didone type

Didone is a style of serif typeface that emerged in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, characterized by high contrast between thick and thin strokes, flat and thin serifs, and vertical stress. Its refined and elegant appearance is achieved through minimal bracket connections and sharp, hairline serifs, making it suitable for headlines and display purposes. Didone fonts convey a modern, sophisticated aesthetic and are often used in fashion, luxury branding, and modern editorial design. Examples include Didot and Bodoni, which are appreciated for their clarity and timeless elegance.
