Huruf “Serif-Modern”
The moderns are the opposite of old style fonts.
These fonts typically have more character, and more
attitude than their old style counterparts, and can be
used to add character to a document rather than to
typeset a long piece.
However, nothing is black and white. They are based
on the designs popular in the 19th century and later.
Known as Didone.

Giambattista Bodoni of Parma, Italy, has been called the king of printers and the
printer of kings. He designed and cut his typefaces at the end of the eighteenth
century. The Bodoni is recognized by its high contrast between thick and thin
strokes, pure vertical stress, and hairline serifs. It is one of the most explicitly
classical typefaces in any library.

Firmin Didot, born 1764 in Paris, France, died 1836 in Mesnic-surl’Estrée, France – punch cutter, type founder, printer, publisher,
author. Studied classical languages. 1783: cuts his first typefaces
and reworks his father’s roman alphabets.
Didot is a very elegant rendition of the 18th-century French typeface -- Didot.
This design took the earlier Italian neo-classical model (Bodoni) to a new level
of refinement, with fully rationalized shapes and delicate hairlines. Didot
accentuates these qualities, providing a classical text face with a clear and
modern voice. The companion face -- Didot Display -- optimizes the
proportions, spacing and hairlines for use at large sizes.
