Pelham Didone

Pelham Didone is a high-contrast display serif with fine hairlines, tight curves and a sharp, vertical stress. It takes its cues from engraved lettering and metal display types, but the proportions are drawn for modern posters, mastheads and magazine covers. The capitals are narrow and assured; the lowercase has a quiet rhythm that holds at large sizes.

Twelve styles run from a light roman to a heavy black, with italics throughout. The forms stay crisp in print and on screen, though this is a display family rather than a text face. Trial fonts are free on this page, and the specimen sets the family at poster scale beside its full character set. See the full specimen
