Caslon Antique

Caslon Antique is a decorative American typeface that was designed in 1894 by Berne Nadall. It was originally called Fifteenth Century, but was renamed Caslon Antique by Nadall's foundry, Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, in the mid-1920s. The design of the typeface is meant to evoke the Colonial era. Early printers would reuse metal type over and over again, and the faces would become chipped and damaged from use. Caslon Antique emulates this look.
