In the proliferation of type styles throughout this century, any number of faces that William Caslon would never have recognized have been issued under the name "Caslon." And in the past four decades, in the process of being adaptedfirst to phototypesetting and then to digital, most of the versions of Caslon either lost their character or ended up too spindly and anemic to be used effectively in text. A few exceptions have appeared in recent years. CAROL TWOMBLY'S ADOBE CASLON made Caslon usable again as a text face, although in doing so she regularized it a bit and smoothed out a few of its peculiarities. She also expanded it into a type family of several weights, in accordance with Adobe's philosophy of what's needed for today's typesetting. (Despite the range of weights, Twombly has been quite explicit that her Caslon is only a text face and should not be used larger than 18-point.) At the other end of the size spectrum, Matthew Carter's Big Caslon takes the eccentric features of Caslon's largest sizes and sharpens them into a lively, highcontrast display face (in one weight of roman only) that should probably only be used at 36-point or larger. A few other potentially useful Caslons exist in digital form, but there remained a big gap: an accurate revival of William Caslon's original types, in all their variations from size to size. That's the gap that ITC Founder's Caslon sets out to fill. Justin Howes, using the extensive resources of the St. Bride Printing Library in London, thoroughly researched William Caslon and his types and took on the task of digitizing every size of type that Caslon cast. In the 18th century, each size of a typeface had to be cut separately, by hand, so the design might vary subtly from size to size; the punchcutter would compensate for the changes in scale and make each individual font appropriate to its size. (Since these were pieces of metal, not electronic representations, and photography hadn't been invented yet, there was no possibility of printing a type at any size other than the size for which it was originally cut.) Caslon's types varied pretty obviously from size to size; anyone adapting the face to modern typesetting methods has generally had to choose one size to work from, or amalgamate "typical" features from various sizes into a single homogenized "Caslon." What Justin Howes did was take each size on its own merits, and digitize it separately, keeping its peculiarities and reproducing it the way it actually appeared on the printed page. Out of Caslon's welter of sizes and designs, ITC has chosen to issue four in its Founder's Caslon series. 23
