Textism: Baskerville
Based on John Baskerville's typefaces (1752), Textism likes George W. Jones' version of this font published as ITC New Baskerville: Compared to the slightly gothic feel of Caslon, Baskerville is purely neo-classical, in it is seen the straight lines and arches of neo-classical architecture. This digital version is ITC Baskerville, which is quite usable but unready for use in long-term reading. Excellent for display use however. See also Mrs Eaves, an interesting experiment in reviving Baskerville, aping the idiosyncratic nature of letterpress text in digital form. |
