DIDOT SPECIMEN
Didot is a group of typefaces named after the famous French printing and type producing Didot family. Firmin Didot designed the typeface called Didot in age of 19 year old in 1780s and classify as modern typeface. Didot often used in cover of fashion publications such as Harper’s Bazaar, Vogue and Elle.
Publication Design
THE PROCESS
I researched the history behind the typeface and I found interesting fact that Jonathan Hoefler of Hoefler & Frere-Jones redrawn the Didot which is digitized version called HTF Didot or H&FJ Didot that developed for Harper’s Bazaar magazine in 1991. I decide to use mainly black and white which are the most color used and represent the fashion with accent color of red.
