Kelmscott Press
The Kelmscott Press was founded in 1891 by William Morris and William Bowden in Hammersmith, London, with the aim of producing beautiful books based on medieval manuscripts.
William Morris designed two typefaces for the books, based on fifteenth-century models: the Roman Golden type, inspired by the type of the early Venetian printer Nicolaus Jenson, and the blackletter Troy type. He also designed floriated borders and initials for the books, inspired by incunabula and their woodcut illustrations.
