Old English Text is a 1935 revival of William Caslon's c. 1760 typeface Caslon Black, which was inspired by late medieval English textura letter forms.
Old English Text is in the graphic identity of several brands, and is popular for its evocation of a liturgical or historic tone of voice.
It is also the font for the Beaconhouse School System and the font used for text in GTA:San Andreas (such locations and the logo of the game). In the Japanese anime Death Note it is used as the font by which the characters conceal themselves while on webchat.
