John Seddon
John Seddon (1644-1700) was a master at Sir John Johnson's Free Writing School at Priest's Corner, Foster Lane, London. Author of The Ingenious Youth's Companion (1690), The Pen-man's Paradise both Pleasant and Profitable (1695), and The Penman's Magazine (1705, published posthumously---its subtitle is a new copy-book, of the English, French and Italian hands, after the best mode; after the originals of John Seddon. Perform'd by George Shelley). The second book was republished in a facsimile edition produced by Jan Tschichold in 1966. The plates in his first two books were engraved by John Stuart. In the third book, Seddon only contributed the decorative flourishes---all writing exemplars were by George Shelley. Bestiario (2011, Iza W, Intellecta Design) is a digital typeface based on John Seddon's work. Seddon Penmans Paradise Capitals (2011, Iza W) is an elaborate initial caps typeface along the lines of Bestiario. |
