daskerville字体 的背景 历史 和 由来

The Baskerville was created by John Baskerville, a typefounder and printer in late eighteenth-century England. It is classified as transitional. As a matter of fact, with its generous proportions, the Baskerville appears not very different from its predecessors. But the difference between fine and bold strokes is more marked, the lower-case serifs are almost horizontal and the emphasis on the stroke widths is almost vertical.

巴斯克维尔体是活字书体之一种,是由18世纪后期的英国的印刷和排字工人约翰 巴斯克维尔(1706-1775) 所设计的古式艺术字体,一种字体风格。这种字体以他的名字命名,是因为他在1757年用自己所设计的这种字体制作了一本著名的维吉尔诗集，并设计了版面，上面还有他的名字。
