Description: "greek font family (Classic Didot revival)\n Under the influence of\
\ the neoclassical ideals of the late 18th century, the\n famous French typecutter\
\ Firmin Didot in Paris designed a new Greek typeface\n (1805) which was immediately\
\ used in the publishing programme of Adamantios\n Korai, the prominent intellectual\
\ figure of the Greek diaspora and leading\n scholar of the Greek Enlightenment.\
\ The typeface eventually arrived in Greece,\n with the field press which came\
\ with Didot\u2019s grandson Ambroise Firmin Didot,\n during the Greek Revolution\
\ in 1821.\n .\n Since then the typeface has enjoyed an unrivaled success as the\
\ type of choice\n for almost every kind of publication until the last decades\
\ of the 20th\n century. Didot's original type design, as it is documented in\
\ publications\n during the first decades of the 19th century, was digitized and\
\ revived by\n George D. Matthiopoulos in 2006 for a project of the Department\
\ of Literature\n in the School of Philosophy at the University of Thessaloniki,\
\ and is now\n available for general use."
