Adobe Caslon Pro

Caslon, originally classified as Oldstyle, but is now Transitional, is a serif typeface developed originally by British Typographer William Caslon in 1722. Benjamin Franklin was very fond of this font. The Declaration of Independence and the Constitution were first printed with this font.

Adobe Caslon Pro was designed by Carol Twombly in 1990 to reflect a modern version of Caslon. Carol was born in 1959 and studied at the Rhode Island School of Design. She studied under Charles Bigelow and furthered her studies with a Master's degree in digital typography at Stanford University. She designed many typefaces such as Myriad, Lithos, Charlemagne, Mirarae, and more. She retired from designing type in 1999.
