Going after the look of old fonts? Not likely

There was a wonderful article this morning from the I Love Typography blog written by William Berkson, called "Reviving Caslon". His point is that there is no Caslon. The fonts were designed far before the modern concept of making all point sizes and weights look consistent. We would ow consider every point size a different font and they are radically different designs. He shows many samples showing how different the various sizes are. It's a fascinating look at our entire concept of reviving old type faces.
