Baskerville has been around since 1974.
Categorised as a transitional typeface; it is in-between classical typefaces and high contrast modern faces
Found little success during John Baskerville's lifetime, although it became popular in Europe after his death.
In 1996 a Baskerville revival type was designed by Zuzana Licko. 'Mrs. Eaves' was named after the printer's mistress.
