Big Caslon Serif Font
An expansion of Matthew Carter’s classic display serif into a three-weight family with striking italics and a host of flavorful features. Big Caslon Brochure
FB Big Caslon adds six new styles to Matthew Carter’s familiar and beloved typeface. In 1994, Big Caslon was released as a single style, with separate fonts for small caps, expert and alternate characters. Now it is a fully-featured OpenType family, simultaneously available as webfonts, in three weights (Regular, Bold, and Black). They each have italics, small caps, and plenty of striking alternates.
“Forceful and a touch eccentric”-that’s how the 1994 Big Caslon specimen described the faces that inspired Carter’s design. These new weights enhance its force, and amplify that dear eccentricity. But not for superficial gain, no, Big Caslon is still at its best in careful hands. Typographers who can sense the richness that Carter’s design offers will succeed by trusting these fonts.
Long bundled with Apple’s OS X, this display serif has befriended many designers. In the words of Carter himself, “It’s been around long enough to have been used on book jackets, in fashion magazines, advertising, and posters. It’s really a general purpose display face.”
