Caslon Ionic is Commercial Type's contemporary interpretation of the robust Ionic letterforms that dominated 19th-century newspaper typography. This design features pronounced stroke contrast and distinctive ball terminals that give it exceptional clarity at small sizes while maintaining strong character at display scales. The generous x-height and open counters ensure excellent readability in challenging printing conditions, while the slightly condensed proportions maximize character count per line. Its sturdy construction and refined details bridge the gap between historical authenticity and modern typographic needs.
