 The Didones or "modern" typefaces draw their name from the typefounders "Di"dot and Bo"doni".These typefaces, dating from the end of the 18th and the beginning of the 19th century, make a very strong contrast between full and connecting strokes (the connecting strokes being extremely fine), the verticality of the characters and their unbracketed, hairline serifs.They correspond to the "Didot" of the Thibaudeau classification.
