Cosa (chi) è Caslon - definizione


Caslon         
  • An American type foundry's family of "Caslon" types in the metal type period. Most have no connection to William Caslon's own work.
  • Note, however, some replacement sorts, including a [[Baskerville]]-style Q and open italic "h", both in the style of the late eighteenth century. [[Justin Howes]] suggests that these were attempts to modernise Caslon's type towards newer styles.<ref name="Caslon's punches and matrices Howes" />}}
  • Caslon 471 on a metal type specimen sheet. Caslon's larger-size fonts had two serifs on the "C" rather than one.
  • Caslon 540 from a metal type specimen sheet.
  • Caslon 540 in a digital version of the Letraset revival, showing some swashes and alternate characters.
  • Caslon Old Face in a sample advertisement by the H.W. Caslon company, 1915
  • American Type Founders' additional swash capitals for Caslon 540. Note the difficulty of designing a swash "I" that does not resemble a "J".
  • Caslon Old Face marketed in a 1915 specimen brochure with mock-18th century title page
  • Many "Caslon" fonts are modernised, changing some characters to a modernised form. The Williams Caslon Text digitisation includes [[stylistic alternate]] characters allowing the user to choose whether to use Caslon's original characters, which have many flourishes in italic, or simplified "modernist" letterforms such as a ''J'' without crossbar and open-form italic ''h''.<ref name="WCT features" />
