    Mrs. Eaves was originally designed to mimic the look of the original Baskerville as it appeared on a letterpressed sheet. However, it's small x-height is very annoying. Mrs. Eaves is really more of a novelty typeface than a practical workhorse. It's very postmodern: mimicry of old fashioned printing techniques, rendered in the digital medium.

    I'd rather just go to the original Baskerville and call it a day. Readers will thank me, too.
