Sketch 12: /Type/ in Caslon

The original version of the typeface was designed by William Caslon in the late 18th century. Caslon had a higher degree of contrast than other fonts of the time, which helps improve readability by making each glyph have a stronger individual identity. This version was designed by Carol Twombly, who designed several other influential typefaces including Trajan and Lithos.

I’ll be collecting them in class today and Thursday. If you forget to bring yours, you can drop it off with Lorraine in the CM&D office (due by 12.12 at the latest).

Typeface

Work session. Either today or Thursday, you’re required to show me your work so far for feedback. Take notes in your notebook. Label your notes as entry 13 in the sketchbook.
