Non-Latin Typefaces: At St Bride Library, London, and Department of Typography & Graphic Communication, University of Reading
This volume presents a curated selection of non‑Latin type materials held at the St Bride Library in London. The work is introduced through essays by James Mosley and Fiona Ross. It bridges archival documentation with typographic analysis, offering the reader a window into the library’s collection and the methods behind type design for non‑Latin scripts.
Beyond visual examples, the contributions contextualize the historical and technical dimensions of non‑Latin type: James Mosley draws on his decades at St Bride Library where he served as Librarian, while type designer Fiona Ross brings her expertise in multilingual type design and script development.
Non-Latin Typefaces serves as a visually engaging introduction to St Bride Library’s collections on world-script typography, type design, and type history.
