Autor

William Dana Orcutt was an American book designer, typeface designer, historian, and author, born on April 18, 1870, in West Lebanon, New Hampshire. He was a key figure in the development of the American book design industry during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Orcutt worked for several prestigious publishing companies and was known for his skill in typeface design, creating fonts that were widely adopted for their aesthetic appeal and readability. In addition to his work in design, he was an accomplished historian, with a particular focus on the history of printing and the role of books in society. Orcutt's contributions to the field of book design were significant, and he is remembered for his innovative approaches to typography and book layout. He was also a writer and authored several works, including fiction. Orcutt married twice, first to Alice Dorothy Wilson, who passed away in 1894, and later to Louise Thompson, with whom he had children, Philip Dana Orcutt and Reginald Orcutt. He passed away on November 28, 1953, in Boston, Massachusetts, at the age of 83.
