Ideally suited for text in sizes ranging from 6- to 14-point, Adobe Caslon Pro is the right choice for magazines, journals, book publishing, and corporate communications. The OpenType “Pro” version merges formerly separate fonts (expert, swash, small caps, etc.), and adds both central European language support and several additional ligatures. For her Caslon revival, designer Carol Twombly studied specimen pages printed by William Caslon between 17. It is a community project to create a revival of Claude Garamont’s famous humanist typefaces from the mid-16th century. The first printings of the American Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were set in Caslon. EB Garamond is intended to be an excellent, classical, Garamond. Caslon’s types became popular throughout Europe and the American colonies printer Benjamin Franklin hardly used any other typeface. Because of their remarkable practicality, Caslon’s designs met with instant success. Caslon’s types were based on seventeenth-century Dutch old style designs, which were then used extensively in England.
William Caslon released his first typefaces in 1722.
