St Bride graphic design and typography library to close, according to reports

St Bride typography and graphic design library is to close its doors, according to reports on social media. The St Bride Foundation was established in 1891 as a centre for Fleet Street’s print trade, and today forms a renowned resource for materials relating to print, typography and graphic design. A post on Wallpaper* magazine’s Instagram reads: “Library of @stbridefoundation will close due to funding cuts. The future of its historic collection – including Eric Gill’s original drawings…British road signs and punches of the famed Caslon Type foundry – remains unknown.”
