1769 specimen from Almarena

A high-contrast didone display serif drawing on 18th-century French typographic tradition and the aesthetic of Romantic-era handwriting.

About

Designed with overt reference to the didone tradition of Bodoni and Didot, the typeface pairs dramatic stroke contrast with delicate hairlines suited to large-scale display settings. The foundry frames it around the culture of late 18th-century France, citing Napoleon, the Romantic movement and the craft of traditional French bookbinding as points of reference. With over 590 glyphs and broad Latin language coverage, it targets editorial, identity and luxury brand contexts.

Classification

The foundry explicitly cites didones as the inspiration, with high contrast between thick and thin strokes, delicate hairlines and an 18th-century French aesthetic consistent with the Bodoni/Didot lineage. Marketed and structured as a display-only typeface.
