Didot font
Didot is a Didone serif by Firmin Didot, from 1784–1811. It comes with macOS; elsewhere its digital versions are sold by type foundries, and free revivals of it are below. FontKind hasn’t measured it, so the free fonts below stand beside it by their own description and by class, not by measurement.

Questions about Didot
Is Didot free?
The design is old enough to be revived freely, and free revivals of Didot are on this page. Its commercial digital versions are paid (It comes with macOS, so a Mac already has it), sold by type foundries. The free fonts on this page are free for commercial use too, under open licences.
Who designed Didot?
Didot was designed by Firmin Didot, and first issued in 1784–1811.
Can I use Didot in Word, Google Docs or Canva?
In Word on a Mac, yes, as macOS comes with Didot; on Windows, only after you install a licensed copy. Google Docs adds fonts from Google Fonts, and Didot isn’t one of them; of the free fonts on this page, GFS Didot, Playfair Display and Imbue are there, under More fonts. Canva publishes no list of its fonts: search its font menu, or, with Canva Pro, upload a font whose licence allows it.
What is the closest free alternative to Didot?
FontKind hasn’t measured Didot: it has no licensed copy of it, so this page doesn’t rank free fonts by how close they come. The free fonts whose own descriptions name it, or its model, are GFS Didot. Beside them, Playfair Display, Imbue and Libre Bodoni are Didone serifs in Google Fonts’ own classification, the class FontKind matches to Didot.
