Book Description
A Note on the Type

This book was set in Didot. The typeface family known as Didot was designed by Firmin Didot in Paris, in 1783. Didot was the inventor of stereo typography, which entirely changed the book trade, and part of the legendary Didot family, who were active as designers for about a hundred years in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. Together with Bodoni of Italy, Didot is credited with designing and establishing the use of ‘modern’ typefaces. These types defined the characteristics of the modern (or Didone) roman type style, their substantial stems flowing into extremely thing hairlines; the serifs are straight across with virtually no bracketing.
