Typography Study: Caslon

As part of the first year we had workshops once a week where we were taught skills in using Adobe software and were set tasks to check on our learning progress throughout the module. One of the tasks we were given during a session was a case study into a particular typeface. Not only was this going to test our skills using InDesign, but also how we dealt with layout, kerning, etc.

I was given Caslon and immediately fell in love with the contour of the lowercase 'c'.

 

I'd like to do a few more case studies on different typefaces like this in the future as I believe it could be really helpful when trying to find the right font for a particular piece of work. It would be great to have a catalogue of pages, like this Caslon one, to get an idea of each different element of the font.
