Type used by the Ashendene Press
From Horace’s Carminia Alcaica
1903
A private venture which has produced comparatively few books, but among them some of the greatest beauty, is the Ashendene Press, established in 1895, and directed by C. H. St. John Hornby of London.… Later, an Italian semi-gothic character, closely resembling the Subiaco type of Sweynheym and Pannartz, was designed for this press by Mr. Walker and Mr. Cockerell.
