Eleisha Pechey
British type designer at Stephenson Blake, 1831 (Bury St. Edmunds)-1902 (London). Designer of these typefaces: - Windsor at Stephenson Blake, cut by William Kirkwood in 1905. Digital versions now available at Bitstream (as Revival 801), Softmaker (as Verona Serial or W730 Roman), and URW. In 2009, Göran Söderström (Autodidakt) and Peter Bruhn (Fountain) published Trailering Heroine, which was inspired by Windsor. Question: How can Pechey have designed a font four years after passing away? I got the date 1906 from the Scangraphic site, but either that is wrong, or Myfonts.com erred--still researching this. A correspondent, Jennifer Lindsay, has a plausible explanation: Eleisha has to have designed Windsor somewhat earlier, Stephenson Blake may have bought the design, perhaps from his estate, and it was published by Monotype in 1903. Windsor Elongated used by Woody Allen appears to be an adaption by Stephenson Blake.
- Booklet Italic. Punches cut in 1904 by William Kirkwood. This typeface is used in the titles of many Woody Allen movies.
- Long Imperial Script. Punches cut in 1906 by Karl Gomer.
- Grotesque No 9 (1906).
- Charlemagne (1886, ornamental).
