In support of the Typocurious’s 2010 theme “Type Designer of the Month,” the Lawson Archive will post a non-Printer’s Almanac article or two each month relating to whomever the type designer of the month is. February celebrates two typographic giants: Daniel Berkeley Updike & Eric Gill. Gill does not appear often (if at all) in many of Lawson’s articles, but Updike appears to have been a favorite. So without further ado, from the January 1960 issue of Printer and Lithographer, is “D.B. Updike Set Standard of Great Craftsmanship.”
