This family was inspired by the well-known Caslon typeface created by William Caslon, the English font designer, who was, with John Baskerville, the progenitor of English Transitional typeface classification in the mid-18th century (See also our 1776 Independence).
We were inspired by a Caslon style set used by an unknown Flemish printer from Bruges, in the beginning of 1800s, a little before the revival of Caslon style in the 1840s.
Our font covers all Western, Eastern and Central European languages (including Celtic diacritics) and the Turkish alphabet, with a complete small-caps set in each of the two styles. (Please note: The complete character set is available only in TTF and OTF “Pro†version.)

An extravagant set of initial capitals have been added to this classic roman italic typeface to complement the lowercase letterforms. Like all great roman typefaces, Caslon 540 Italic exudes grandeur and is beautifully suited to work requiring an elegant effect. The swashes were created by talented designer Freda Sack in the Letraset Type Studio.
