Letterpress Text
Some words from Chris Costello:
This font, based on the popular and timeless Caslon design, was carefully digitized from the pages of an antique book which was printed in England during the late 18th century.
I was particularly intrigued by a few unique treatments of such characters as the lower case italic ‘p’, the question marks and various swash caps, that I had never seen before. During the conversion process, I made sure to preserve the worn look of faded ink on old paper by maintaining a subtle level of decay and opacity with each character.
Used as a text font, The Letterpress Text Family successfully reproduces the appearance of old letterpress lithography.
