Font review: Didot

Normally, this would be the point where you would see the review written out in this font. But, that is harder to do, as this font is not default. So, this link will have to do, alongside this screenshot:

Now wait a minute, I believe we have all seen this font before? Am I correct? I should be. Didot has a very Similar form akin to many different types of fonts. While it is true that it did not originate from Hoefler & Frere, they currently own it. This font frequents magazine pages, and the occasional brochure. Quite honestly, I like it because of it being a classic, with Hoefler & Frere giving it the occasional tweak to keep it up with the times.
