The Caslon
The first Caslon old faces were designed in 1725 by William Caslon. Caslon types are considered warm and friendly and comfortable to the eye. They have a robust texture, sturdy forms, and a wide variety of shapes. The strokes in Caslon are heavier than many earlier old style fonts ; the serifs are thicker and a bit stubby.
And remember that, “in doubt, use Caslon”.
