The name comes from the eponymous, 18th Century typeface by William Caslon. The font, with its calligraphic tails and serifs, is anchored in the roots of the earliest printed English language texts, and while there’s a tip of the hat to that tradition, it manages a timeless sophistication- reasons why I speculate it was chosen as the primary typeface for the New Yorker Magazine.
