John Baskerville was an extremely unique man. Most people today know him as the creator of the Baskerville font, but his interesting occupation and hobbies before his clame to fame is very interesting. Starting out John Baskerville was a stonecutter and an english writer. His stone cutting skills led him to a job in engraving headstones which later became letter design (which he is more well known for). As a letter (font) designer Baskerville's font is well known for it's differing line weights and modern style.
