John Baskerville (1706-1775) était expert en écriture et imprimeur à Birmingham en Angleterre. Il a conçu plusieurs fontes, dont les poinçons créés par John Handy ont servi de base aux fontes aujourd'hui intitulées Baskerville. L'excellente qualité de ses impressions a inspiré des imprimeurs célèbres tels que Didot en France et Bodoni en Italie. Malgré sa renommée internationale dans les domaines de l'innovation technique et stylistique, il a difficilement pu concurrencer les imprimeurs commerciaux locaux en raison de ses critères élevés quant à la qualité de l'encre et du papier. Cependant, ses contemporains anglais ont imité ses fontes et, en 1768, Isaac Moore a créé des poinçons afin de fournir une version de la fonte Baskerville à la fonderie Fry. Baskerville a imprimé une magnifique bible in-folio pour l'Université de Cambridge. De nos jours, ses fontes sont considérées comme des représentations raffinées du rationalisme et du néoclassicisme du dix-huitième siècle. Lisible et très élégante, Baskerville est une excellente police de texte. Grâce à ses formes nettes et fortement contrastées, elle convient également aux publicités élégantes.

La collection Linotype contient de nombreuses versions de cette fonte:
ITC New Baskerville® fut créée par Matthew Carter et John Quaranda en 1978.
Baskerville Cyrillic fut conçue par Linotype Design Studio.
Baskerville Greek fut conçue, quant à elle, par Matthew Carter en 1978 et
Baskerville™ Classico par Franko Luin en 1995.
