Austerlitz specimen from Typofonderie

A charming Parisian Didot scaled across four optical sizes, from poster contrast down to a humble text size.

About

Austerlitz takes the Didot high-contrast tradition and splits it into four purpose-built sizes: Affiche for posters, Gros and Labeur for general and ordinary Didot use, and Petit for small, legible settings. Each size is tuned rather than simply scaled from the others.

Classification

A Parisian Didot system in four optical sizes, Affiche, Gros, Labeur and Petit, running from poster-scale contrast down to a humble, highly legible small size.
