Wells & Webb
[Ebenezer Webb]
Ebenezer Webb was an American wood type designer/manufacturer from the 19th century. Successor of Darius Wells in 1859. Webb died in 1864 and his entire inventory of wood type was bought by Heber Wells, youngest son of Darius. The company was called Wells & Webb. Examples from their 1854 catalog: Antique Tuscan Extended. Dick Pape revived many of the Wells & Weber typefaces, including AWT W+W AntiqueTuscan (2013: after a design from 1849-1854), AWT W+W AntiqueTuscanExpanded (2013: after a design from 1854), AWT W+W GothicCondOutline (2013: after a design from 1849), AWT W+W GothicExtended (2013: after a design from 1840), AWT W+W GrecianCondensed (2013: after a design from 1846), AWT W+W GrecianXCondensed (2013: after a design from 1846), AWT Wells+Webb TuscanOutlined (2013: after a design from 1849), AWT Wells AntiqueLight (2013: after a design from 1854), AWT Wells AntiqueLtExtended (2013: after a design from 1854), AWT Wells AntiqueXCondensed (2013: after a design from 1840), AWT Wells GothicTuscanICond (2013: after a design from 1849), AWT Wells GothicTuscanItalian (2013: after a design from 1854), AWT Wells PaintersRoman (2013: after a design from 1870).
