Some new glyphs. I had to make a P before anything else,
and I've been browsing through Bodoni's old specimens for inspiration.
Is there any of the Didot specimens available online?

I'm really glad you're doing this. There are really only five (each very different) interpretations of Didot: Linotype's, Hoefler's, URW's, Porchez's, and Optimo's Didot Elder.
Optimo and Porchez have some specimen shots:

Thanks Sstewf, i'll take alook at those pages.
I don't think I will try to do a faithful interpretation. More something in the lines of Lubalin, DeSpinga & Carnase.

Hi Peter,
I was wondering how work is going with the “Didot”?
