Objective: Parts of Didot

The coolest thing to me about Didot is the extreme contrasting widths. This is evident in almost ever single letter. Other cool things about it are the hairline serifs and balled ends. The lower case g is two stories with a closed loop. The Q is especially funky with its strange tail that goes below the baseline. The upper case W uses overlapped cropping of V. The question mark is really different and provides some character. The G has an interesting spur. a c f g r all have balled ends.
