Unlike the consistent text faces by William Caslon, the three largest sizes made by the Caslon foundry are uncommon. Perhaps they were the work of another — or he was in a bold mood? While Caslon’s text types have been revived, the forceful and a touch eccentric display sizes had no revival until Carter & Cone’s Big Caslon. This version, designed by Matthew Carter, expands on the timelessness of the display face and allows for new uses. Available in Regular, Bold, and Black and companion italics.

Carter & Cone has designed some of the world’s most celebrated typefaces and award-winning custom fonts. Elegant, balanced, useful: these words describe the fonts produced by Matthew Carter and Cherie Cone’s partnership. While their early work forms the bedrock of modern typography, their newer typefaces continue to enrich and expand it. The consistency and thoroughness of their designs are a direct result of their early training in industries without an undo, like punchcutting and calligraphy.
