Knowing even one of these would be helpful. Especially the Jill and Matt fonts. Thanks!

Pairing a HTF Didot

Hello,

I am looking for a text serif font to pair with HTF Didot. Any suggestion?

Marcel

Hi I am doing a large high profile signage project using Annlie. Can anybody point me to anything well known where it has been used. I have to do a presentation about it. Also does anybody know anything other than whats on the linotype site about its creator Fred Lambert? Any interesting stuff at all on Annlie would be gratefully recieved.

Thank you.

Hi everybody,

first I'm going to briefly introduce myself (silent reader and observer for a longer time, now finally joined):
My name is Cornelia but I prefer to be called Conny, I'm 26 and studying media design at Rheinische Fachhochschule Köln (Cologne), what I really enjoy, it is a great experience with a lot of demandful tasks. Like the one I could need your help:

My topic will need some space.
I am planning on printing a booklet that contains a potrait about the "Didot" font. (I'm afraid my English is a bit rusty, please don't hesitate to correct me in case of failing at technical terms.)

It is a task at my typography discipline (Rheinische Fachhochschule Köln). Every student does another font.

Hey all!

This is my first post, so be gentle. My professor, Pablo Medina, suggested this place to ask for some insight on a research paper I'm doing.

I'm basically in the formative throws right now, but I'm working towards some sort of thesis. I'm thinking about discussing how Bodoni as a transitional typeface bridges the gap between serif and sans serif fonts, and/or something else to do with its place in history.

As I said-- formative throws.

My main point of posting here is to ask if you guys can recommend any good sources, print or otherwise, for me to read up on the history and help myself get as close to a perfect grade as possible!

Anything would be appreciated, even just insight.

Regards,
Nathen.

Didot numeral weights

I'm using HTF Didot because it has variations on serif weights, but the numerals are funky. Does anyone know if a Linotype-style Didot exists with numerals that correspond to the different HTF weights? Thanks!

Does anyone know what this Didone font is?
Many Thanks!

didot is so close to this but no cigar. its not any type of bodoni I've found or walbaum. any thoughts?

Hello Typophile forum members,
I am asking assistance identifying this font. It's very similar to Didot but has a much more sleek/modern appeal. This font appears to be gaining popularity recently in a lot of fashion editorial. Thanks in advance for your help and consideration! :)

I need help identifying the font in the attached jpeg. Anyone? Thanks!

Hi,

I'm currently writing an essay which includes some short case studies of typefaces. I would like to include Didot as one of them but I cant seem to find out that much information about its history.

I already know some bits about the typeface and its designer but I'm struggling for its context really - I dont know anything about what else was happening at the time and what made both didot and bodoni both design such similar typefaces at similar points in history?

Thanks for any help, Rick

DIDOT?

Hi,

I know this falls under "modern" faces, and my best guess would be Didot. It would, though, be nice to be confirmed or else find out the correct face.
Thanks.

Didot? Shaded?

Hi,

I have two questions concerning the typeface the upper part of the text, i.e. "NO.357 | L.17", is set in:

1. My best guess is that it is Didot. Am I right?

2. Irrespective of the answer to the first question, what keyword should I be using when searching for typefaces with lines running through the strokes of characters as in this sample? I thought "shaded" would be a good starting point, and it indeed got me some good results. Could you suggest any other keywords that will get me typefaces similar to the one used in the image?

Thanks.

Hi,
I'd like to ID the type on these book covers.
www.klasherbert.com/project/rejected-book-covers/

I've tried WhatTheFont but it doesn't suggest a match.
I've also emailed the designer – will post if I get a reply!

Cheers,
Henry

Which Didone (/Bodoni) is this?

Hello! Which version is this? The serifs are perfectly flat, so initially I thought it was Berthold Antiqua. But the "a" doesn't look like. Source

-----
I have another question, not related to Bodoni: is there a way to subscribe to certain posts (or to all posts one has participated in), in such a way that every time there's an activity/reply to one's post or post one has replied in, an email notification be sent? Sorry, but I couldn't find anything in help, nor did I get any reply to my email sent to the webmaster. Thanks much in advance.

I'm not sure if anything like this has been asked before, but here goes.

When did Didone faces become associated with fashion/glamor, and why?

Any recognizes this wonderful typeface?

Thanks
a,

I found these cute buttons for a couple of typefaces with the names spelled phonetically. The colors are classic, looks like CMYK and RGB. I'm a collector so I had to have one of each color. Anyone know of any other merch out there like this?

Hello all,

I'd like to announce the release of the work-in-progress version of my new typeface, Otama. All thoughts and opinions are very much welcome and appreciated.

Free to download from www.timdonaldson.com/otama-ep.zip

Cheers,

Tim

I know i've seen this all over, but can't figure out what it is exactly...

This is Monotype's "Neo-Didot", released in 1904 (IIRC). I've only seen it used once, in this wonderful 1985 edition of Lucian's stories and dialogues, produced by Franz Greno.

As far as I know, this face hasn't been digitized yet, which is a shame, as the digital Didots currently available have a stroke contrast way too high to be useful for longer stretches of text...

best
Nils.

I'm proud to announce the release of Pyes Pa. A high contrast display italic.

Hello,

Wondering if anybody recognizes this typeface here:

http://www.deejay.de/pics/images/x/4/5/131145.jpg

Lots of letters to look at there, but they are all jumbled!
