William Caslon was an 18th century type designer. The William Caslon Experience is an accomplished musical duo who create unique, lush electronic downtempo landscapes. The William Caslon Experience have released 4 full length CDs and have had tracks remixed by DJ luminaries: The Herbaliser & Fila Brazillia. The Thievery Corporation have called their sound "some kind of cross between Medeski, Martin and Wood, Stereolab and Tortoise."  This CD contains a remix by Odiorne in addition to a brand new "remixed" Caslon font. The exclusive font can ONLY be purchased by getting this CD.

The special CD "discfolio" packaging has been hand printed in three colors by letterpress designer Bruce Licher of Independent Project Press. Each CD is numbered and comes with a fold out broadside liner notes sheet/ poster.
The two-sided poster features a specimen modeled after the classic 18th century specimen by William Caslon. The running text narrative is actually the liner notes for the music portion of the CD but showing each of the styles of the LTC Caslon fonts. The reverse of the poster is printed in silver with a design by Colin Kahn.
 
 
The Disc itself was printed in two colors (black and white) on silver with the ornamentation in white being flood coated with black to give an embossed look from the variation in the height of the layers of ink.
