Frederic Warde (1894—1939) was a printer, type designer, and typographic designer. One of the great book designers of the twentieth century, Will Ransom described him as "a curious blend of romantic idealism and meticulous practicality.〔Will Ransom, ''Frederic Warde'' in Print, Vol. 2, No. 1, p. 27〕" In describing his own work, Ward stated, "The innermost soul of any literary creation can never be seen in all its clarity and truth until one views it through the medium of the printed page, in which there must be absolutely nothing to divide the attention, interrupt the thought, or to offend one's sense of form.〔Ransom, p. 27〕" ==Biography== Born Arthur Frederic Ward on 29 July 1894 in Wells, Minnesota, U.S.A. In 1915 he enlisted in the United States Army, and attended the Army School of Military Aeronautics at the University of California, Berkeley during 1917-1918. On demobilisation in 1919 he worked as a book editor for Macmillan & Co, before undergoing training on the Monotype machine, after which he worked for the printers William Edwin Rudge from 1920 to 1922 under Bruce Rogers. From 1922 to 1924 Warde was Printer for Princeton University.〔Friedl, Ott, and Stein, ''Typography: an Encyclopedic Survey of Type Design and Techniques Throughout History.''

Once in England, they met Charles Hobson of the Cloister Press in Manchester, and through him Stanley Morison, who offered Ward work designing and writing for ''The Fleuron'' and the ''Monotype Recorder''.〔Alexander S.
