英國人William Caslon從1720年到1766年去世，切割瞭許多羅馬、斜體和非拉丁字體。當時大部份字體是從荷蘭傳入英國的，所以Caslon受到瞭荷蘭特征的影響。然而，他確實達到瞭一定的水平，使他成為公認的第一個偉大的英國設計師。Caslon變得如此流行，以至於被稱為國王手記，盡管在政治范圍(和海洋)的另一端，美國人在1776年的《獨立宣言》中使用瞭它。長久以來，原始的Caslon為各種以他的名字命名的字體提供瞭豐富的來源。大多數Caslons的識別特征包括帶有尖頂的大寫字母A;帶有兩個完整襯線的大寫字母C；斜體字是斜體小寫的v和w。Caslon的字體在印刷商中享有傳奇的地位，被認為是安全和可靠的。
20世紀早期的許多解釋中，有一些是真實的，並且足夠強大以至於最後進入數字時代。其中包括兩個American Type Founders公司的Caslon 540和稍重的Caslon 3號。這兩種字體都比較寬，並配有小型大寫字母、老式圖形和斜體。Caslon Open Face第一次出現是在1915年的Barnhart Bros & Spindler Foundry公司，盡管名字叫Caslon，但與真正的Caslon字體完全不同。它專門用於標題和首字母縮寫，並且無論是與更正宗的Caslon字體結合使用還是單獨使用，都顯得優雅。
The Englishman William Caslon punchcut many roman, italic, and non-Latin typefaces from 1720 until his death in 1766. At that time most types were being imported to England from Dutch sources, so Caslon was influenced by the characteristics of Dutch types. He did, however, achieve a level of craft that enabled his recognition as the first great English punchcutter. Caslon’s roman became so popular that it was known as the script of kings, although on the other side of the political spectrum (and the ocean), the Americans used it for their Declaration of Independence in 1776. The original Caslon specimen sheets and punches have long provided a fertile source for the range of types bearing his name. Identifying characteristics of most Caslons include a cap A with a scooped-out apex; a cap C with two full serifs; and in the italic, a swashed lowercase v and w. Caslon’s types have achieved legendary status among printers and typographers, and are considered safe, solid, and dependable.
A few of the many interpretations from the early twentieth century were true to the source, as well as strong enough to last into the digital era. These include two from the American Type Founders Company, Caslon 540 and the slightly heavier Caslon #3. Both fonts are relatively wide, and come complete with small caps, Old style Figures, and italics. Caslon Open Face first appeared in 1915 from the Barnhart Bros & Spindler Foundry, and is not anything like the true Caslon types despite the name. It is intended exclusively for titles, headlines and initials, and looks elegant whether used with the more authentic Caslon types or by itself.
