<p>Libre Caslon Text is optimized for web body text (typically set at 16px).
Libre Caslon Display (coming soon) is optimized for web headlines.</p>
<p>There are already lots of digital Caslon's revivals, and lots of
Caslon-esque fonts. Some are very good. But none of them was truly made for
the web. While they look very good when printed on paper, they render very
small when used for web body text on the screen.</p>
<p>Libre Caslon Text, instead, was specifically tailored to be used for web
body text (typically set at 16px). It can be used at very small sizes and will
still be readable on your website.</p>
<p>Another big difference is that pretty much all other digital Caslons
revivals are based on 18th Century specimens by William Caslon I and William
Caslon II. Libre Caslon, instead, is based on hand lettering artist
Caslon interpretations typical of 1950s advertising.</p>
