Last night I was clearing my box room ready for redecorating - I picked up my copy of "
How to be Topp!" - famously illustrated by
Ronald Searle, while checking the publication date I noticed it was set in "
Scotch Roman" and then sat on my bed and read the first chapter. The first time I have seen or read this book in twenty years and certainly the first time I have come across a "Scotch Roman" typeface.
Today a tweet from Tim Harford led me to
a site about font master Matthew Carter and Googling his most recent font (
miller) revealed that it is based on Scotch Roman.
Returning to twitter I find a new tweet -
Ronald Searle's death was announced this morning.
umm....
