"So-called Baskerville Old Face of the type foundry Stephenson Blake & Co. of Sheffield. The Script is probably not immediately linked to Baskerville, but it is very much influenced by it. It is one of the most beautiful types of which the mats still exist; it has an incomparably different spirit than the 'streamlined' re-cuts of today's Baskerville. Even keeping the general restraint extremely expressive. According to Berthold Wolpe ('Signatures' No. 18), the punches were cut and shown in samples in 1776 by Isaac Moore, who came from Birmingham to Bristol."

– Jan Tschichold, "Meisterbuch der Schrift", Notes On The Plates, Page 231

Publisher note: I wanted to improve the contrast between thick and thin, reduce some ink-traps and give stems, serifs and links a smoother overall feel. I have also added some alternative letters and old style numerals.
