Typeface notes:
Mark van Bronkhorst designed Celestia as an alternative to Caslon Antique at a time when few rough-edged fonts were available. He borrowed the basic forms from an early attempt hed made at designing an oldstyle roman typeface, this time redrawing the letterforms with stronger serifs and adding the rough-edges. Designed to be more open and readable in text settings than Caslon Antique, Celestias gentle roughness becomes more apparent when used in display settings. An italic design, based on van Bronkhorsts calligraphy, complements the roman character set.
