Baskerville is one of the most seminal serif font families of the past few centuries. Originally designed by John Baskerville in the 1750s, it has remained a triumph of form and legibility. URW’s modern revival includes an astonishing 51 styles, spread across 5 gorgeous weights.

Baskerville is beautifully versatile – designed for high-quality print applications, yet effortlessly applicable to modern applications such as web and digital media.

An outspoken contrast between the thick and thin strokes, combined with a vertical position of the axis results in an improved legibility. Other typical characteristics of Baskerville are the distinctive swash tail on the uppercase Q and the cursive serifs in Baskerville Oblique.

Baskerville was regarded to be a technical milestone and is an important reference to later designed Didone typefaces.
