Frank Hinman Pierpont
The designer Frank Hinman Pierpont (born 1860 in New Haven, died 1937 in London) created the font Plantin® in 1913.
Plantin, the man, was a well-known printer of the 16th century whose font foundry turned out traditional Old Face fonts and the italic cut of Garamond. Frank Hinman Pierpont designed Plantin, the font, based on such fonts, and Stanley Morison and Victor Lardent in turn based their Times New Roman™ design on Plantin. In the style of Garamond, this font is exceptionally legible and makes a classic, elegant impression.
