My role
Visual Designer
I wanted to create a hairline monoline weight of Didot but struggled with how to incorporate the tapered serifs of the font. I decided to follow the core 'skeleton' of the typeface, deviating only where the serifs terminate, following the curved inner line. The result is a thinline typeface with some interesting quirks, particularly on the upper case characters such as E, F, L, T and Z.
