Craft an informative article about the history and evolution of the 'cursive' typeface created by John Baskerville in the early 20th century. The text should be written using formal English, include at least three design principles he applied to his cursors, discuss its impact on modern graphic design trends over time, compare it with two other contemporary typefaces like Times New Roman and Helvetica, reference how typography in the early 1900s influenced its aesthetic appeal, and conclude with an analysis of current digital font designs drawing inspiration from Baskerville's work. Provide this as a brief but comprehensive overview suitable for presentation in a professional design seminar talk.
