Publisher: AdobeWilliam Caslon released his first typefaces in 1722. Caslon's types were based on seventeenth-century Dutch old design designs, which were then used extensively in England. Due to the fact that of their impressive usefulness, Caslon's designs met instant success. Caslon's types became popular throughout Europe and the American colonies; printer Benjamin Franklin barely used any other typeface. The very first printings of the American Declaration and the Constitution were set in Caslon. For her Caslon revival, designer Carol Twombly studied specimen pages printed by William Caslon between 1734 and 1770. The OpenType "Pro" version combines formerly separate font styles (specialist, swash, small caps, etc.), and adds both central European language assistance and numerous extra ligatures. Preferably suited for text in sizes ranging from 6- to 14-point, Adobe Caslon Pro is the ideal choice for magazines, journals, book publishing, and corporate communications.
