These days, there are many digital interpretations of the classic face, but most are anemic at text sizes – the very setting where Caslon is supposed to shine. King’s College London approached D D M to address this problem with their house face Caslon ; designer Ron Carpenter returned to Caslon’s original drawings to create a set of fonts fit for a king. King’s Caslon D (above) differs considerably from this, the Text version. The former is designed to attract and charm, with an extrovert authority signified by high contrast strokes and fine detail. The latter, meanwhile, is all about functionality: each stroke is drawn to provide the best readability at text sizes, with no fussy design details. King’s Caslon T T is the quiet cousin that will perform page aer page. 11/15pt, Typo
