337, designated ‘MacKellar Caslon’ in some early literature
because it is closer to the original typeface associated with that
foundry. Display sizes are virtually an exact copy of No. 471.
Composition sizes are well adapted, though necessarily modified to
fit the standard arrangement; they are made with short descenders
on standard alignment, but were the first Monotype typeface with
alternate long descenders. Oddly, all three Monotype Caslons—37,
137, and 337—are the same set width—letter for letter—in all
keyboard sizes made, which means that any given character is
precisely the same width from one typeface to another in any
composition size. In addition, 12-point No. 337, which with long
descenders must be cast on 13- or 14-point body, is essentiallythe
same size and width as 14-point of the same face. Sizes of this
typeface above 36-point were later copied from Stephenson Blake's
Caslon Old Face and called Caslon Old Style No.
437, as previously noted.” [McGrew 1993]
