Caslon

designed by William Caslon, 1722.

The typeface is characterized by shorter ascenders and descenders, bracketed serifs, and slight stroke modulation which creates pleasing contrast between thicks and thins. The italics contain suggestions of swashes and calligraphic personality. There is a richness and stability to Caslon that lends a trustworthy, texturized backbone to any design work, particularly print.
