The name Didot came from the famous French printing and type producing Didot family. The classification is known as modern, or Didone. Firmin Didot (1764 - 1836) cut the letters, and cast them as type in Paris. Didot is described as neoclassical, and evocative of the Age of Enlightenment.

The Poetry Of Protest In ‘The Witch Doesn’t Burn In This One’
24 pt
Amanda Lovelace’s book of poetry, “the witch doesn’t burn in this one,” lets any woman who has ever felt the sting of the patriarchy, whether emotionally or physically, know that her anger is justified.
13 pt
In “the witch doesn’t burn in this one,” warnings and prophecies (wonderfully carrying the witch motif) precede each of the four parts of the collection, which is not a witch tale but simply a “story where women fight against the manmade structure that has long overstayed its welcome.” Lovelace’s concluding thoughts in “the witch doesn’t burn in this one,” despite being in a work that revels in anger, also point at the hope all around us. “didn’t you know there could be shelves upon shelves upon shelves of books written about your strength?” she writes. This poem, the penultimate piece, is aptly titled, “as always, the women save themselves in this one.” There are so many reasons to be angry as a woman, especially for those who have undergone the pain Lovelace speaks to in her poetry. She agrees that women have the right to rage. Yet, her concluding words in “the witch doesn’t burn in this one” remind readers that the fire has to be harnessed to change the “stories” and “fairytales” we have been taught as women.

Saudade is a deep emotional state of nostalgic or profound melancholic longing for something or someone that one cares for and/or loves. Moreover, it often carries a repressed knowledge that the object of longing might never be had again. It is the recollection of feelings, experiences, places, or events that once brought excitement, pleasure, and well-being, which now trigger the senses and make one experience the pain of separation from those joyous sensations. Saudade describes a feeling both happy and sad, and could be approximated by the English expression ‘bitter sweet’. Nascimento and Meandro (2005)[3] cite Duarte Nunes Leão's definition of saudade: "Memory of something with a desire for it." In Brazil, the day of Saudade is officially celebrated on 30 January.
