Bruce Rogers’ Montaigne Type

From The Banquet of Plato: Riverside Press, Cambridge, 1908 (scan)

1908

Next to English special types, similar American fonts are perhaps the most interesting. The fine Montaigne font designed by Bruce Rogers for the Riverside Press, Cambridge, was cut in 1901… It has been delightfully used by Mr. Rogers in the Montaigne and in some other beautiful books designed by him.
