William Caslon was well known in eighteenth-century Great Britian for designing typefaces that had crisp, upright characters. He was the first British type designer of any renown, responsible for ending British printers’ dependence on using imported Dutch and French typefaces that had dominated printing and publishing throughout the seventeenth century.

Caslon born in Worcestershire, England, and began his career as an engraver before becoming interested in punch cutting and type design in 1722. His first roman typeface, the Pica Roman (1725), was closely based on a Dutch typeface. His subsequent typefaces included Caslon English, Small Pica No. 1, Long Primer No. 2, and the celebrated Great Primer Roman. He was one of the first type designers to publish a specimen sheet illustrating almost the full range of his roman typefaces.

Caslon’s typefaces marked the end of the Old Style or Garalde era and for more than 200 years and became the standard roman for most printers in Great Britain. William Caslon was undeniably the most important member of the Caslon family due to his contributions to typeface design, but the Caslon family continued in the type foundry business until 1938 as the Stephenson Blake & Co. Foundry.
