Claremont is a serif font family designed by Les Usherwood (Typsettra).  Usherwood originally created four weights – a light, extra bold, light italic, and extra bold italic.

Paul Hickson (P&P Hickson) and Steve Jackaman (ITF) digitized the family and created eight new weights, and it was released exclusively for the Red Rooster Collection in 1993.

Claremont shares similarities to Bookman Old Style, but also shares properties with slab serif Egyptian-style typefaces.  Like all Usherwood typefaces, the family was engineered with great care for maximum legibility and aesthetics.
