Caslon specimen from ParaType

A 1992 Soviet-era revival of William Caslon's types, drawn at Polygraphmash and modelled on the American Type Founders 1902 interpretation, available in four styles.

About

Designed by Isay Slutsker at the Polygraphmash type design bureau in 1992, this version of Caslon follows the American Type Founders' 1902 rendering of William Caslon's original eighteenth-century types. The family covers Book and Bold weights, each with an italic, offering a compact but functional set for text composition.

Classification

A revival of William Caslon's types from circa 1725, following the American Type Founders 1902 interpretation. Caslon's letterforms sit broadly in the old-style to transitional range, with moderate stroke contrast and bracketed serifs.
