Bruce Rogers (1870 – 1957), born in Lafayette, Indiana, studied art at Purdue University, before becoming an illustrator for a newspaper. He was greatly impressed with the work of Morris’ Kelmscott Press. In 1895, he moved to Boston to work at the Riverside Press, where he established himself as a designer of fine books, with a reputation for painstaking attention to every detail.
In 1929, the face known as Monotype Centaur was prepared for mechanical typesetting, and an italic alphabet by Frederic Warde was adapted for use with it. Centaur remains the typeface for which Rogers is best known. He died shortly after his 87th birthday in 1957. Centaur has been digitized by Adobe and has two weights, regular and bold; in addition there are expert fonts and an italic swash font.
