A NOTE ON THE TYPE
Lost to Time is composed largely in the classic font known as Adobe Caslon. Caslon was originally designed in 1725 by acclaimed English font designer William Caslon, for whom the font was named. Caslon’s typefaces were among the most popular in the eighteenth century and were used for the first printings of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. Today’s Adobe Caslon is a revival of the original type cut by Caslon; it was created by Adobe Systems Inc. in 1990 under the direction of Carol Twombly. The other font used is Trajan (1989), also designed by Carol Twombly, who was inspired by the inscription on the base of Trajan’s Column in Rome.
Printed and bound by Maple-Vail in York, Pennsylvania.
Interior designed by Christine Heun.
