In 1931 Monotype made this facsimile of the typeface cut originally for John
Bell by Richard Austin in 1788, using as a basis the matrices in the possession of Stephenson Blake & Co. Used in
Bell’s newspaper, “The Oracle,” it was regarded by Stanley Morison as the first English Modern face. Although inspired by French punchcutters of the time, with a vertical stress and fine hairlines, the face is less severe than the French models and is now classified as Transitional. Essentially a text face,
Bell can be used for books, magazines, long articles etc.
