Caslon Antique
{{Infobox font , name = Caslon Antique , image = Caslon Antique.png , style = Display , date = 1894 , creator = Berne Nadall , foundry = Barnhart Brothers & Spindler , sample = } Caslon Antique is a decorative American typeface that was designed in 1894 by Berne Nadall. It was originally called "Fifteenth Century", but was renamed "Caslon Antique" by Nadall's foundry, Barnhart Bros. & Spindler, in the mid-1920s. The design of the typeface is meant to evoke the Colonial era. Early printers would reuse metal type over and over again, and the faces would become chipped and damaged from use. Caslon Antique emulates this look. Variants An italic variant of the font is also available. In addition to versions available under the traditional name, Corel produces its own version of the font under the name "Casablanca Antique." Notable uses Caslon Antique is popular today when an "old-fashioned" or "gothic" look is desired. It was used in the opening credits of the Jacque ...

Berne Nadall
Bernard William "Berne" Nadal (born ''Bernard William Nadal'', but also known as "Berne Nadall"; 1869–1932) was an American typeface designer and artist. He was the designer of the Caslon Antique typeface, which is still in common use to this day. Life Bernard was born in Louisville, Kentucky on February 28, 1869. His mother was a French art teacher. After the death of his mother, he was placed under the instruction of H. Clay Wool ford, a prominent artist of the South, but they did not work well together. Two years later, Mr. Nadal began studying with Al. Legras, a classmate of Carl Brenner. Afterwards, he went to the Louisville School of Design for a term and, in less than a year, began working for the Louisville daily papers: the '' Louisville Post'', the ''Daily Commercial,'' etc... It was during his connection with the ''Post'' that he cartooned the "Newman Ward Granite Steal," an exposé of a swindle on the city, and the result was a suit for damages in the sum of $200 ...

Monty Python's Spamalot
''Spamalot'' (also known as ''Monty Python's Spamalot'') is a musical comedy with music by John Du Prez and Eric Idle, and lyrics and book by Idle. It is adapted from the 1975 film ''Monty Python and the Holy Grail''. Like the motion picture, it is a highly irreverent parody of the Arthurian legend, but it differs from the film in many ways. The original 2005 Broadway production, directed by Mike Nichols, received 14 Tony Awards nominations, winning in three categories, including Best Musical. During its initial run of 1,575 performances, it was seen by more than two million people and grossed over $175 million. Tim Curry starred as King Arthur in the original Broadway and West End productions. It was one of eight UK musicals commemorated on Royal Mail stamps, issued in February 2011. A Paramount Pictures film adaptation, directed by Casey Nicholaw in his directorial debut from a script by Idle, was in pre-production as of 2021. Synopsis Before the show A recording encour ...

Letterpress Typefaces
Letterpress printing is a technique of relief printing. Using a printing press, the process allows many copies to be produced by repeated direct impression of an inked, raised surface against sheets or a continuous roll of paper. A worker composes and locks movable type into the "bed" or "chase" of a press, inks it, and presses paper against it to transfer the ink from the type, which creates an impression on the paper. In practice, letterpress also includes other forms of relief printing with printing presses, such as wood engravings, photo-etched zinc "cuts" (plates), and linoleum blocks, which can be used alongside metal type, or wood type in a single operation, as well as stereotypes and electrotypes of type and blocks. With certain letterpress units, it is also possible to join movable type with slugs cast using hot metal typesetting. In theory, anything that is "type high" and so forms a layer exactly 0.918 in. thick between the bed and the paper can be printed using l ...
