Designers Note
Libre Baskerville is an elegant serif typeface inspired by the classic Baskerville design, optimized for modern digital reading. It features high contrast between thick and thin strokes, refined serifs, and generous spacing, offering excellent legibility on screens. Ideal for body text in blogs, articles, and editorial layouts, it combines timeless aesthetics with contemporary readability.
Libre Baskerville is a web font optimized for body text (typically 16px.) It is based on the American Type Founder's Baskerville from 1941, but it has a taller x-height, wider counters and a little less contrast, that allow it to work well for reading on-screen.
