Robert Green

In 2024, Green was still working on his PhD at Central Saint Martins / the University of the Arts, London. Designer at Acme of AF Pan (1996-1997) based on the octagonal lettering of old Nat West bank machines.

He is lauded for his revival typeface The Doves Type (2013-2015). Green writes: This is Robert Green's digital facsimile interpretation of the Doves Press Fount of Type, conceived and commissioned 1899 by TJ Cobden-Sanderson for the Doves Press, Hammersmith, developed by Emery Walker and Percy Tiffin at Walker and Boutall, Hammersmith, created and cut by Edward Prince, Islington, and cast by Miller & Richard Foundry, Edinburgh, 1899-1901. This facsimile was recreated using printed impressions from Doves Press publications & original metal sorts recovered by Robert Green from the River Thames, London, November 2014.
