William Addison Dwiggins (1880–1956) was among the most influential and innovative designers of his generation. A master calligrapher, type designer, illustrator, private press printer, and a pioneer of advertising, magazine, and book design, Dwiggins was the quintessential maker — fabricating his own tools, mastering traditional skills, inventing new techniques, and experimenting with design in a wide range of passions and pursuits. The first book published at Letterform Archive was Bruce Kennett's W.A. Dwiggins: A Life in Design.
