Typographic Ornaments

typography secrets fonts with great best glyphs symbols graphics adobe caslon pro
Adobe Caslon Pro’s type ornaments were designed by Carol Twombly and based on William Caslon’s own specimen pages printed between 1734 and 1770 (Friedlander). The mostly floral ornaments have a uniform color and line weight and can make any paper seem elegant. These are some examples of the different shapes. What defines the glyphs is that they are mostly floral, have curved lines and some have a very pretty scalloped shape. I think that many of these glyphs would look great when placed in the corners of formal letters or resumés, to provide stylish, vintage inspiration
