Caslon 540
Some words from Adobe:
The vast popularity of William Caslon’s eighteenth-century types led to a practically endless range of Caslon copies, among them Caslon 540, from American Type Founders in 1902, and Caslon 3, a slightly bolder face also from ATF in 1905, which was later modified for use with Intertype and Linotype technologies. Both designs have the warm, solid, straightforward style that has made Caslon popular for over 200 years; these Caslons, however, have shorter descenders, and higher contrast, features that enable them to hold up better with the faster presses and the new varieties of paper introduced at the turn-of-the-century.
