L1=Baskerville Old Face
L3=This face is based on one developed by the renowned 18th century typographer
L4=John Baskerville. But tell-tale differences, including the characteristic squarish
L5=curves in the capital C and G, identify it as the version first issued by the Fry type
L6=foundry, established by the Fry family after they succeeded in the chocolate business.
L7=The face first appeared in 1766 under the name of Isaac Moore, the foundry manager.
L9=Baskerville is known as the first of the transitional romans, with its greater
L10=differentiation between thick and thin strokes. This makes Baskerville look good in
L11=large sizes. No type library is complete without some version of a Baskerville face.
