This week we have typography and typographers on the Post. The presentation and readability of text on a page are crucial, so we choose our typefaces carefully (all our reset books are in Baskerville). The new Persephone Pamphlet is an opportunity to experiment a little, and for the central section we have chosen Mrs Eaves. Although this was designed in 1996 by Zuzana Licko who was inspired by Baskerville (1757), it is fittingly eighteenth-century and Bathonian in style. Indeed, it resembles the Bath street names which are painted on or carved into the stone.
