Cotlin specimen from ParaType

A 1993–94 serif designed at SoftUnion by Nikolay Vsesvetsky, closely modelled on Leslie Usherwood's Caxton and issued in four styles.

About

Cotlin follows the proportions and character of Caxton, the Letraset face Usherwood drew in 1981 and named after the fifteenth-century English printer William Caxton. Designed between 1993 and 1994, the family comprises Book and Bold weights, each with an italic companion, making it suited to magazine editorial work where a decorative yet structured serif is needed.

Classification

A display serif in the vein of Caxton, itself a 1981 Letraset design by Leslie Usherwood. The family's Book, Bold and italic companions suggest a text-capable transitional serif with decorative qualities suited to magazine work.
