Baskerville

Where high contrast meets classic elegance – a font that stands tall, even centuries later.

Baskerville is a serif typeface designed by John Baskerville in the 1750s. Developed during the Enlightenment period, this typeface represents a shift towards greater legibility, refinement, and contrast in type design. Baskerville's design featured sharper serifs, thinner strokes, and a higher contrast between thick and thin parts of the letters. It was a departure from the traditional Old Style fonts that preceded it, and Baskerville's work had a profound influence on typography. His typefaces were used for works of great literature, with the printing press now producing books with a more elegant, readable style.
