The Baskerville Project
Baskerville takes its name from the Birmingham-based industrialist, John Baskerville. Baskerville was a printer and type designer who had a significant impact on the printing industry, and is probably best known for creating the Baskerville typeface, which is still widely used today and is the inspiration for the Baskerville logo.
