THIS PIECE WAS DONE BY STANLEY MORISON. THIS IS CALLED "THE ROMAN ITALIC & BLACK LETTER" AND IT WAS IN THE OXFORD UNIVERSITY PRESS IN 1951. MORISON WAS PART OF THE INTERNATIONAL STYLE MOVEMENT. I LOVE THIS TYPE. THE SMOOTH LINES AND SHADOW ARE BEAUTIFUL! I LOVE HOW THE DESIGN BEHIND AND AROUND THE LETTER ARE SO SMOOTH AND THEN THE LETTER "T" IS SO STRONG AND BOLD! VERY NICE CONTRAST!
