British Monotype’s adaptation of Baskerville.
A.k.a. Baskerville Old Face. Made in roman and italic
(Series 169, 1923), Semi-Bold with italic
(313, 1932), Bold with italic (312,
1933), Bold Large Face (377, 1933), Extra Bold Titling
(380, 1933). [Reichardt]
“The Intertype roman face is substantially the same as Monotype
except for adaptation to mechanical requirements. But while the
Monotype italic is considerably narrower than the roman, on
Intertype the two faces are necessarily the same width.”
[McGrew 1993]
A digital version in 3 weights plus italics comes bundled with
MacOS. Version 10 (2014) More…
