Designed by Tom Carnase in the late 1960s (used already in 1969), originally for LSC and known as LSC Caslon [ad]. It was available with short or long ascenders, an alternate angled ‘e’, and several swashes. The ITC name comes from the street number of Lubalin, Smith, Carnase’s studio address: 223 East, 31st Street. Ed Benguiat’s ITC Caslon No. 224 followed as a text companion. [U&lc, Vol 17, No 1.] Other phototype shops, such as Monsen, showed it simply as Caslon Extra Bold (with Swash).
The roman was digitized by Claude Pelletier as Caslon CP (2016, swash glyphs added in 2018).
