William Caslon cut his very first typefaces in 1720. For almost 300 years numerous versions of the Caslon faces have actually come in and out of design, however always seem to be related to as a classic type style suitable for lots of uses; thus the popular quip: "When in doubt, use Caslon".
In remastering this font for release in 2005, the characters have been entirely redrawn based upon the 14pt font for hand composition. This style is better in spirit to the original Caslon. The initial Monotype version from 1915 was used with long and brief descenders. LTC Caslon is available in both variants—— the routine font styles featuring brief descenders and fonts designated as "long" have the longer descenders.
