Firmin Didot is credited with establishing the Modern genre of serif typefaces, of which Beaux Arts Didots stands as an exemplary design. Like the French neoclassical architecture of its name, Beaux Arts has all the trademarks of the early nineteenth-century style: a clear and confident building and construction consisting of basic yet strong lines. Use it for classy and formal settings, or when a direct typographic tone is desired. Mix it with styles of similar sensibilities such as Plinc Hanover and Davison Spencerian. Digitized from the original Photo-Lettering film matrix in 2014 by Jean-Baptiste Levée.
