Back to the serifs...

I would like to now begin looking more closely at Adobe Caslon Pro and how it might look used on different panels. This first one is Danilo from Bosnia.I actually love this typeface for a few reasons. With the file blown up to 100%, it is easy to read, even standing over a metre away from the screen. It has a beautiful, gentle flow to it that doesn't interrupt the eye, and the italic version has some beautiful features, such as the hook on the lower case h and v. The panel as a whole also looks very harmonious from a distance, and both the Bosnian and English versions work extremely well together.
