<p>
Baskervville is a revival of Jacobs revival of Baskervilles typeface. It was distributed by the Berger-Levrault Foundry from 1815. The font Jacob produced was sold as a »Caractères dans le genre Baskerwille« i.e »Baskerwille alike fonts« — with a w instead of a v.
</p>
<p>
The particularity of Jacobs Baskerwille is that the roman is very close to Baskervilles typefaces while the italic is closer to Didots typefaces. The ANRT workshop aimed to digitize Jacobs font in order to show his work which moves from transitional to modern styles.
</p>
<p>
Baskervville is designed by ANRT (Atelier National de Recherche typographique) students.
