4 Huruf “Serif-Transitional” Transitional fonts fit somewhere in between moderns and old style fonts. Many of the transitionals have the same kind of readability as the old styles. However, they are based on slightly later design. While a move in the direction of the moderns may be visible in these fonts, they are still much more subtle than the moderns.

He worked first in London as an engraver of gunlocks, then set up his own foundry in Caslon's individual letters are less impressive than those of Baskerville and Giambattista Bodoni, but their regularity, legibility, and sensitive proportions constituted a remarkable achievement in design.

8 Caledonia William A. Dwiggins designed Caledonia for Linotype in The Bulmer types gave Caledonia “the liveliness of action the quality is in the curves, the way they get away from the straight stems with a calligraphic flick, and in the nervous angle on the underside of the arches as they descend to the right.” The result, Caledonia (the Latin name for Scotland), is one of the most widely used book types of all time. In the late 1980s, Linotype released New Caledonia, removing some of the constraints placed on the original design when it was first produced in metal and augmenting the range of weights for the typeface. 8. Born in Martinsville, USA, died in Hingham, Massachusetts, USA – type designer, printer, typographer, graphic designer – studied at the Frank Holme School of Illustration in Chicago under Frederic W. Goudy.
