Prior to designing Berthold Caslon Book, Günter Gerhard Lange intensively researched both the English type founder William Caslon’s 1725 types, and the Dutch forerunners of the 17th century upon which Caslon based his work.

H. Berthold released Berthold Caslon Book in 1977.

Berthold’s Caslon is a popular choice for large bodies of text and also for display work.
