  1. There’s some differences between Big Caslon and the font used in the title on the cover.

  2. Hi Tome,

    The album cover seems to use Big Caslon run through a filter, blurring joins and making it overall softer.

    The website uses unmodified Big Caslon.

    The font you linked to was made after the fact: it’s not the font used for the album cover, but is rather based on it. I had to remove the link as it’s a derivative work that’s very likely not authorized.

    Taylor Swift uses these fonts in her lyric videos: Minion, Big Caslon, and Nitti Typewriter.

  4. Thanks, Benjamin. Do you want to put a contribution together about one you particularly like?

    D Jones previously did a post about the “22 (Taylor’s Version)” lyric video which uses Mrs Sheppards and Montserrat:
