From the middle ages to the Middle East, From Futura to Freight, join us on a journey across the type universe and go where no designer has gone before...Welcome to An Incomplete History of Type (Part 4!)
This episode is guest hosted by Audrey Grandinetti.
Name: Baskerville
Release Date: 1757
Designer: John Baskerville
Classification: Transitional Serif
Owned By: Well...it’s a bit complicated. The original Baskerville punches are now owned by Cambridge University Press, but the design itself is in the public domain. Many digital adaptations of Baskerville have been introduced over the years, and are owned by the specific type foundries (or individuals) who designed them.
Claim to Fame: Baskerville was praised by U.S. founding father Benjamin Franklin.
I'm all about interesting projects with interesting people!
