Didot
Having completed animating our weather compositions using Flash, we are now moving on to a project about font in Typography. The font I have been assigned is Didot. Didot is a serif font. It falls under the classification of modern, or Didone, roman style. This font was originally designed by Firmin Didot in Paris in 1783. Adrian Frutiger designed this font for digital technology in 1992. This is called the Linotype Didot family. This font is one of the greatest for book work, and the delicate lines that make up each letter are good for display uses. A fun fact related to this font is that the "Foundry Daylight" version was commissioned and used by CBS with its logo (the eye).
