Model Didot, inspired by its namesake font

French brand Face à Face’s latest collection takes colour blending to new heights. Model Didot (featured here) is inspired by the strong contrast between the thin and thick lines of the iconic font. Different strokes interplay to create an optical effect, where solid and open spaces reverse themselves. Below the endpiece, the illusion of extreme thinness is achieved through crystal detailing.
