Modern typeface
Modern typefaces originated in the late 18th century and are characterized by extreme contrasts between thick and thin strokes, vertical stress, and fine, unbracketed serifs. The first modern typeface was Didot, created by Frenchman Firmin Didot in 1783. Other influential modern typefaces include Bodoni, created by Giambattista Bodoni in 1784, and styles created in the 19th century such as Modern No. 20, Fenice, and Filosofia. Modern typefaces are known for their abrupt serifs, high contrast, vertical axis, and small apertures compared to earlier transitional and old style serif typefaces like Caslon and Baskerville.
