Caslon is a historic serif typeface first designed in the early 18th century (around 1722) by English typefounder William Caslon. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Old-Style Serif, characterized by moderate contrast, angled stress, and bracketed serifs that provide warmth, readability, and a classic bookish quality. Caslon became one of the most influential typefaces of its time, famously used in the printing of the U.S. Declaration of Independence and widely adopted for books, newspapers, and official documents. Over the centuries, multiple revivals have been released by foundries such as Adobe, ITC, and Monotype, making Caslon a versatile font family for both body text and display typography. Caslon is a proprietary typeface requiring a commercial license, though open-source interpretations also exist.
