在大約100年的18和19世紀,Didot傢族的幾個成員作為設計師活躍在巴黎。他們也是印刷者、出版者、打字者、發明傢、作傢和知識分子。1800年左右,Didot傢族擁有法國最重要的印刷廠和字體鑄造廠。Pierre Didot出版瞭由他的兄弟Firmin Didot設計和剪裁的字體排版的書籍和印刷品。Didot字母的雕琢的、清晰的形式是那個時代的代表,與意大利同一時期的Giambattista Bodoni設計的非常相似。這些字體被稱為“現代”風格——意味著它們的特點是極高的垂直應力和精細的發際線,與粗線條的主要筆畫形成對比。Linotype Didot™由Adrian Frutiger於1991年繪制,基於Firmin Didot在1799年到1811年間切割的字體。在1818年由Didots出版的一本書《La Henriade》中,Frutiger也研究瞭Didot的字體。這個漂亮的傢庭有12個字重,包括老式數字、一個標題版本,和精美的圖形裝飾。Linotype Didot是書籍和雜志設計的最佳選擇,也是廣告的最佳選擇。

eText fonts – the optimum of on-screen text quality

With our new eText fonts that have been optimised for on-screen use, you can ensure that your texts remain readily legible when displayed on smartphones, tablets or e-readers.

The poor resolution of many digital display systems represents a major challenge when it comes to presenting text. It is necessary to make considerable compromises, particularly in the case of text in smaller point sizes, in order to adapt characters designed in detail using vector graphics to the relatively crude pixel grid. So-called ‘font hinting’ can help with this process. This, for example, provides the system with information on which lines are to be displayed in a particular thickness, i.e. using a specific number of pixels.

As font hinting is a largely manual and thus very complex technique, many typefaces come with only the most necessary information. What is unimportant for a text printed in high resolution can result in a poor quality image when the same text is displayed on a screen, so that reading it rapidly becomes a demanding activity.

Specially optimised eText fonts can help overcome this problem. An extremely refined and elaborate font hinting system makes sure that these fonts are optimally displayed on screens. Monotype has not only adopted font hinting for this purpose but has also thoroughly reworked the fonts to hone them for display in low resolution environments. For example, the open counters present in the letters C, c, e, S, s, g etc. have been slightly expanded so that these retain their character even in small point sizes. Also with a view to enhancing appearance in smaller point sizes, line thickness has been discreetly increased and x-height carefully adjusted. Kerning has also been modified.

Don’t leave the on-screen appearance of your creations to chance. Play it safe and use eText fonts to achieve perfect results on modern display devices. Many typefaces, including many popular classics, are already available as eText fonts and new ones are continually being published.

The eText font you can purchase here are available for use as Desktop Fonts or Web Fonts. Should they be used in Mobile Devices such as smartphones, tablets or eReaders, please contact our OEM specialists at sales-eu@monotype.com. "
