TYPE DESIGN INFORMATION PAGE last updated on Thu Aug 12 15:22:43 EDT 2021. FONT RECOGNITION VIA FONT MOOSE. Doves Type [Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson] Doves Type was from Doves Press, founded in 1900 by Thomas J. Cobden-Sanderson (a disciple of William Morris) and Emery Walker. They had type based on Jenson. Thomas J. Cobden-Sanderson threw the typefaces in the Thames when the press closed in 1916 to prevent anyone from using it again. Ben Archer writes: although William Morris's Golden Type predated this design, it is thought that the Doves Type was more faithful to the design of the original Venetian type of the fifteenth century. Punches were cut by Edward Prince on the instructions of Walker and Cobden Sanderson in a single size and weight only, and used for printing the Doves Press edition of the Bible. This celebrated type was used privately for sixteen years and never released to the general trade. It was lost to history forever when Cobden Sanderson threw the entire font into the Thames river, provoking a bitter argument with his business partner, the master printer Emery Walker. Cobden-Sanderson was born in 1840 in Alnwick, Northumberland, and died in London in 1922. Doves Press Type (1994, Torbjörn Olsson). A six-font family. The Doves Type (2013-2015, Robert Green).

THE DOVES TYPE® ¶ Robert Green’s facsimile of the famous Doves Press typeface, a digital reconstruion devised using the original metal type salvaged in 2014 from London’s River Thames. THE DOVES PRESS WAS FOUNDED IN 1900 by T. J. Cobden-Sanderson, in partnership with photo-engraver Emery Walker, in Hammersmith, London. During nearly seventeen years of operation, the Doves Press produced some of the finest & most notable examples of twentieth century typography. The distinguishing & most celebrated feature of its books was a specially devised fount of metal type, known variously as Doves Roman, the Doves Press Fount of Type, or simply the Doves Type. When the partnership was formally dissolved in 1909, a settlement was proposed whereby the two men would share the type; Cobden-Sanderson could retain its exclusive use to continue printing Doves Press publications until his death, whereupon ownership would then pass to Walker. Nonetheless, after the Doves Press was closed in 1917, an epitaph appeared in the press’s final publication announcing that Cobden-Sanderson had ‘bequeathed’ the type to the bed of the River Thames.

However, following the acquisition of a greater range of archive material in 2014, Green began to update his digital version of the typeface. In order to create a definitive reproduction he decided that the original metal sorts, lying on the riverbed, would have to be examined. In November 2014, the Port of London Authority’s diving team, directed by Robert, recovered 151 metal sorts from the Thames. A portion of this type has been donated to the Emery Walker Trust, where it is on display to the general public. In 2016, Green undertook more work to improve the digital font for contemporary usage. This latest release of the updated Doves Type contains extended glyph coverage including small caps, together with both lining and tabular figures. Metrics have also been adjusted for 21st century usage. The original Doves Press type, cut for letterpress with its physical constraints and inherent quirks, contains spacing which would appear uncomfortable to modern eyes in web and litho applications.
