Baskerville

Baskerville is a classic transitional serif with a refined, authoritative presence. Its high contrast, strong vertical stress, and sharp bracketed serifs give it a polished, bookish character that feels equally traditional and elegant.

This 7-style family from URW++ includes Regular, Oblique, Medium, Medium Oblique, Bold, Bold Oblique, and Ultra Bold, giving you a useful range for hierarchy and emphasis. It suits editorial design, book typography, formal headlines, and other display settings where readability and a cultivated tone matter.

Whether you're shaping a sophisticated brand voice or setting text that needs to look established and confident, this family brings the familiar Baskerville feel with options that move from restrained to assertive.
