ABOUT







George Ostrochulski

Letter designer at Mergenthaler from the mid-1930s and head of the letter design department from the mid-1950s until his death in 1971. He worked on and produced Caslon Old Face in the 1950s (Klingspor mentions 1964 though), a faithful revival of William Caslon I's classic face. The lowercase is Moxon's 1669 Great Canon. A digital version exists at Bitstream. Klingspor also credits him with Times Semibold in 1970 at Mergenthaler / Linotype.
