Description

Robert Hunter Middleton (1898-1985) was one of the most prolific American type designers of the twentieth century. He thought typography, design, and craftsmanship were intimately related. By his own modest count he created twenty-five typefaces in seventy series and weights, but those numbers do not account for the fact that, by the procedures of the day, most typefaces were also redrawn for masters at varying point sizes. The commercial and industrial context for this achievement is described in an earlier Opifex volume, Chicago Modernism & the Ludlow Typograph, also by Paul F. Gehl. The Designer-Craftsman Speaks offers us something further - Middleton's own words about the craft dimension of design. Its title reflects his conviction that the best design was informed by centuries of craft tradition in creating letterforms and illustrating texts. Most of Middleton's many writings were occasional. They appeared in a variety of trade publications, newsletters, and limited-edition books and so are now hard to locate. This anthology offers the only substantial collection of Middleton's prose to date, including unpublished pieces (talks, drafts, memoranda, notes to himself), and gives a voice to this influential designer now a half century after the last of his typefaces appeared.
