Caslonian is drawn with a large x-height, exaggerating certain details and proportions. Particularly visible in the large XL Light version, it is angular in its serif finish, but flexible in its design. Let’s review the different characteristics.

Nota Bene.
Calling Times, all Times Roman, Times New Roman isn’t an issue.
Is like calling Helvetica all typefaces who pretend to be more Swiss, digital, inclusive, legible, open source, historically whatever Helvetica. Including all pirated versions.
At the end it’s just Times & Helvetica.

The reason behind the comeback to Times is just a reaction against the Department under BIDEN admin who picked Calibri in 2023, a sans serif font, because it “was recommended as an accessibility best practice by the Secretary’s Office of Diversity and Inclusion.”
