Designed by Morris Fuller Benton / For headlines, text, and logos Developed by Giambattista Bodoni during the Classical period (1786-1810), the original Bodoni is an elegant and precise font. Strong characters, along with thick and thin strokes, makes it an easily recognizable font. One of the most popular typefaces until the midnineteenth century, Bodoni still inspires innovation. The version of Bodoni in primary use today was created between 1908 and 1915 by Morris Fuller Benton for American Type Founders Company.

Designed by Carol Twombly / For magazines, journals, textbooks, and corporate communication The Caslon legacy began in 1725 with the founding of the Caslon Type Foundry in England by William Caslon I, and lasted for three generations. In 1734, Caslon’s first one-page specimen was produced, illustrating forty-seven of his typefaces, including Caslon. Based on seventeenth-century Dutch old style designs, the Caslon font was popular throughout Europe and spread to the American colonies. Caslon was even chosen as the typeface for the first printing of the American Declaration of Independence and the U.S. Constitution. In 1990, designer Carol Twombly used the specimen pagesof the late Caslon to update the font.
