About

A rounded headline face by Paul Barnes that revives the first rounded typeface, cut by the Caslon & Catherwood foundry in 1836. Rounding the terminals gives a warm, friendly appearance, and with a well-considered lowercase the design is remade for today. Published with matching italic, inline and ornamented variants for posters, packaging, identity and editorial display where you want nineteenth-century warmth and a clear sense of character.
