Caslonian is an English-inspired typeface, which echoes the period of transfer letters, phototype that allowed incisive headlines settings in design and advertising; a typeface that by its contrasts and sometimes excessive proportions will be pleasant to the eye.
The initial concept was to draw a Caslon that values certain contrasts of proportions that appear in large sizes. Drawing Caslonian with this objective is both to establish everything that makes a Caslon, while exaggerating certain details, certain proportions that will make it more Caslon than a purist revival, as close as possible to a particular Caslon cut. <br.
Caslonian Open was added, that allows the illuminated open part of the letter to be in different color when they are superimposed. The size of the empty-open parts adapts to each styles. The diacritics of the capitals have been drawn shorter to help the tight line spacing of capitals, particularly useful on the cover of magazines.
