I am currently working on a type specimen for "Baskerville" typeface (my final project for the semester, which ends in 4 weeks). And unfortunately, we have no books about Baskerville specifically in our university library, And bookstores on this part of the world are not particularly into type :( . I was looking for his ornamental work. I would very much appreciate any information you can give me. Sincerely, H Hello,

That's quite a compliment coming from you. It makes sense that this wasn't originally in English; the wording was a little strange. Oh, and I even took the quote a little out of context, the original author was talking about this redesign of Baskerville as compared to the previous ones. :D Thanks John!

Looks like you're my new assistant editor. The English in the original quote is a little confusing. The author is French, so his turn of phrase is <em>parfois un peu français</em>. I think you've deciphered this quotation very well, Lauren. I should replace the original quotation with yours;) I think he's also referring to the stress of the letterforms being more perpendicular (in contrast to the earlier Humanist and Old Style forms), Lauren
