Didonesque Ghost specimen from Paulo Goode

A 10-font Didone family taken to an extreme of thick-thin contrast, with hairline stems and serifs giving letterforms a near-weightless, ghost-like quality at large sizes.

About

Developed from the Display and Poster weights of the original Didonesque (2017), Ghost pushes contrast and glyph refinement further to produce a distinctly fashionable result suited to branding, headlines and wedding stationery. Five weights run from Light to Ultra, each paired with an italic, and the family includes 11 alternates, 30 ligatures, small caps and petite caps across a glyph set exceeding 750 characters. European Latin languages are supported throughout.

Classification

High-contrast Didone with extreme thick-thin transitions, hairline stems and serifs that produce a near-spectral appearance at display sizes, following the classical Bodoni/Didot tradition taken to its stylistic extreme.
