Caslon is the sturdy, warm English Old-Style serif William Caslon I cut in London from 1722, the face that earned printers the maxim "When in doubt, use Caslon." Its most famous impression is the Dunlap Broadside — the first printed Declaration of Independence, Philadelphia, July 1776. This system rebuilds that ground: a tanned rag sheet darkened over 250 years to a muted amber-grey, period-black ink with real bite, engraved rules, and a dramatic hierarchy of display capitals reading as a proclamation, not a webpage.
