Franklin Caslon

This font set was created in collaboration with the Philadelphia Museum of Art to coincide with the Benjamin Franklin Tercentenary. This font set includes faithfully reproduced letterforms digitized directly from images of impressions made by Benjamin Franklin and his printing office circa 1750. The printing conditions of the time involved handmade paper with textured surfaces and handmade inks which were Script-applied for each impression. By digitizing the printed type in its real-life state, an authentic look of Franklin’s actual work is achieved and, ultimately, has a timeless appeal.
