What I learned from reading Stanley Morison, His Typographic Achievement.
"Two men stand out as the most powerful influences on 20th-century typography: Stanley Morison, who died in 1967, and Jan Tschichold." -Jan Tschichold
Stanley Morison was a typographical authority, lecturing at the University of Oxford and the Royal College of Art. He was also the author of countless works, friend to many typographic greats (Beatrice Warde, Eric Gill, Berthold Wolpe, Jan Tschichold, and others), and a design director for a number of typefaces including Times New Roman, Gill Sans, Perpetua, and Albertus. Join me in this conversation as we study the life, work, and influences of Stanley Morison.
