Ted Staunton

After serving a five-year apprenticeship (’58–’63) with the Lincolnshire Publishing Co., Ted Staunton spent three years (’63–’66) at Leicester College of Art & Design, graduating with a diploma in Typographic Design. His interest in lettering and typeface design was revealed in his diploma thesis: The Development and Usage of the Gothic Letterform. Some of his fonts were used privately on transfer lettering sheets and cast in metal for hand typesetting at his private press, Sherwood Letterpress.
