About
Baskerville Original stays close to the historical model, printed by Johannes Baskerville in Birmingham, keeping a touch of letterpress bite in its curves. The 120 Pro size handles headlines while 10 Pro is built for continuous text. It was revised in the summer of 2025 without losing that historical texture.
Classification
A faithful two-size revival of John Baskerville's 18th-century transitional serif, revised in 2025 with a touch of letterpress character retained.
