Caslon Ionic-Family

Caslon
Ionic
Bolder and more robust than the modern, yet lighter
and more refined than the Egyptian, the Ionic
with its bracketed serif was another innovation of
the nineteenth century. Perfect for both text and
display, with its large x-height and wide capitals, it
is a characterful face perfect for screen and print.
Caslon introduced the style in the early 1840s, one
where an Egyptian style was given bracketing
and greater contrast, before the more famed and
similar Clarendon appeared from Thorowgood. In
the 1850s Caslon introduced Ionic No. 2, with a text
version in the 1860s, which is the model for this new
version. This face, dealt with the worsening printing
conditions of its time, became the archetype from
which multiple newspaper faces were derived in the
twentieth century. From this single source, an italic
and multiple weights have been added to this new
version, ideal for all number of applications.

versions of their seriffed forms. Instead they matched
faces with bolder egyptians and clarendon forms, and
put them on the same body size. These were typically

used in timetables and dictionaries. In the twentieth
century this practice died out as foundries made
Manchester Trilogy companion bold designs. Caslon Ionic as well as its own
bold, has an alternative bold, a separate design, Antique
Manchester Trilogy No. 6. Originally produced by Figgins in the 1870s, it

has been resized to have the same cap height as Caslon
