What is the Caxton™ font?

Designed by Leslie Usherwood in 1981 for Letraset, Caxton, named after England’s first printer, is an old style design with a large x-height, short serifs, and high-waisted capitals. It is a text face intended for use in journals, books, and magazines, but its exuberant personality may make it more useful for display.
