Our second contributor in EC3 is the wonderful Paul Barnes of @commercialclassics, who drew a custom version of Caslon Rounded specially to be cut as new wood type, to accompany his article. This is the first showing of that full alphabet, in upper and lowercase, in 14-line pica.

Above all we need to acknowledge the @stbridelibrary, home to much of the historical material we used in the creation of these new typefaces. A portion of all @commerclassics license sales will be donated to support the library, and we encourage you to support @sbf1891 if you can
