401 Styling type with a pattern of vertical lines

- Hey gang, this is Deke McClelland.…Welcome to Deke's Techniques.…This week, we are gonna take that artwork…that was inspired by the cover of Madonna's MDNA album,…which was created, I should say in part, at least,…by the fashion photographers Mert and Marcus,…and we are gonna add this text…set in the font Didot, as I'll explain in just a moment,…and styled with this pattern of vertical lines.…Here, let me show you exactly how it works.…All right. Here's that text made entirely of vertical lines,…just so you have a chance to see it large and on screen.…

Now, for our purposes, we're best off…using a font in the Didone family.…And let me show you what that looks like.…You can see the word Didone is spelled D-I-D-O-N-E.…These are also known as the modern fonts,…and they include examples like Adobe's New Caledonia,…we've got Berthold Walbaum,…and one of the best known fonts there is, Bodoni,…which is available from a lot of different type foundries…in a bunch of different styles.…But the font I'm gonna use is Linotype Didot.…
