F37 Caslon Text specimen from F37 Foundry

The text optical cut of F37 Caslon, tuned for running body copy across upright and Condensed widths.

About

A text optical Caslon. Sixteen styles span four weights from Regular to ExtraBold with matching italics, plus a Condensed cut with its own italics, all drawn for legibility at body sizes. Slightly heavier strokes, more open spacing and softer contrast than the standard F37 Caslon, which lets it carry long-form editorial and book settings. Sits in the middle of the F37 Caslon optical system, between F37 Caslon Text for body and F37 Caslon Hairline for very large display.

Classification

F37 position F37 Caslon Text as the text optical cut within the F37 Caslon system. Proportions, spacing and contrast are tuned for running body copy, with the same width and weight structure as the display Caslon.
