Baskerville!!!
Designed in 1757 by John Baskerville. It's basically a cooler version of Bodoni and Didot. I won't even talk about how much better it is than Caslon. It has a really awesome uppercase Q, which kicks all the other Qs asses. However, it was because of John's hard work that this awesome typeface became famous. Since the strokes are more contrasting where they are thick and thin the whole typeface rocks people's faces. The whole thing reeks of dignity and tradition. You can't crap on that. After a while people started forgetting how awesome Baskerville was, because Futura was melting people's brains with its own form of badassery. However, Benjamin Franklin invented a time machine and traveled to the future to tell people that they're being dumb. Now everybody only uses Baskerville.
