Abstract

Denis Glover was a self-assessed expert on typography. This article reviews Glover’s education and training as a typographer and discusses his four accessible published articles. The article then assesses his contribution to the establishment of higher standards of type selection and use in the post-WWII period, particularly for book work. The 'new' typography he and others promoted is now the established typography.

Lindsay Rollo, a retired one-time technical editor, is now an independent researcher.
