The official printing of the Declaration of Independence was set in Caslon, a font made by William Caslon in 1722 (interestingly, his first commission was an Arabic font for the Society for Promoting Christian Knowledge)

I find it fascinating that the Declaration of Independence was printed using Caslon font, created by William Caslon in 1722 🤓 It's interesting to learn about the diverse range of projects he worked on, from Arabic fonts to this iconic American document 🇺🇸 #typographyhistory
