The
Baskerville
|
The
Baskerville
was created by John Baskerville, a typefounder and printer in late eighteenth-century
England. It is classified as transitional. As a matter of fact, with its
generous proportions, the Baskerville appears not very different
from its predecessors. But the difference between fine and bold strokes
is more marked, the lower-case serifs are almost horizontal and the emphasis
on the stroke widths is almost vertical. |
