Designer: Robert Besley Foundry: Fann Street Foundry Country of origin: London, UK Release year: 1845 Classification: Slab serif Claradon is the classical Slab Serif family that has sturdy structure and punctuated by ball terminals. People often compared it with the typeface Giza; however, Claradon has more increased contrast which opens up the counters and the serif is less imposing then Giza’s.
