Caslon


Caslon was designed in 1722 by William Caslon, British punch cutter and type founder. The Caslon typeface has the Dutch Baroque types characteristics with the short ascenders and descenders, characteristics of early Dutch designs that were used by William Caslon to establish the British type founding. Some of the characteristics beside the short ascenders and descenders are also bracketed serifs, moderately high contrast, robust texture, and moderate modulation of stroke.
