A Note on the Type
The text of this book is set in New Caledonia, a modern typeface released
by Linotype-Hell in 1979. New Caledonia originates from
William Anderson Dwiggens’s 1938 design for linotype production—a
method of setting hot metal type in lines of words or slugs.
Called Caledonia, the Roman name for Scotland, Dwiggens’s typeface
added a touch of calligraphic style and fluidity to earlier Scotch
typefaces that were designed to be set by hand, one letter at a time.
W. A. Dwiggens (1880–1956) was one of America’s foremost graphic
designers. He championed the revival of fine bookmaking, which
began in England with the work of the nineteenth-century social reformer
and printer William Morris. An accomplished puppeteer and
illustrator and the designer of twelve widely used typefaces,
Dwiggens is also known for his articles attacking the leading publishers
of his day, whom he mocked for the poor design of modern
books.
