Which font was used for the site's headline "ENGLISH LANGUAGE & USAGE"?
(I like it.)

meta.english.stackexchange.com/questions/400/… Doesn't mention the font, as far as I could tell, but provides some background history.– Mari-Lou ACommented Nov 3, 2013 at 7:44

Found the answer in this link: What font does the site use?– Mari-Lou ACommented Nov 3, 2013 at 7:47

@Mari-LouA: that link only gives the body font (Georgia). The heading is a graphic, and obviously uses a different font than the rest of the site.– MarthaªCommented Nov 11, 2013 at 18:59

@Marthaª I hadn't realized. I just recalled reading about the font used for ELU and found the link. Thanks for pointing it out.– Mari-Lou ACommented Nov 11, 2013 at 20:07

The ampersand is Baskerville Italic. The main font is a type of distressed/corroded Caslon, which is given away by the serif at the top of the A, especially.
There are some demonstrated at http://www.fontscape.com/explore?7QI, but not the particular example used here.
