Stanley Morison (6 May 1889 – 11 October 1967) was an English typographer, designer and historian of printing.
Born in Wanstead, Essex, Morison spent most of his childhood and early adult years (1896–1912) at the family home in Fairfax Road, Harringay. He was self-taught, having left school after his father abandoned his family, Morison became an editorial assistant on The Imprint magazine in 1913. As a conscientious objector he was imprisoned during the First World War, but became design supervisor at the Pelican Press in 1918. This was followed by a similar position at the Cloister Press.
In 1922 he was a founder-member of the Fleuron Society dedicated to typographical matters (a fleuron being a typographic flower or ornament). He edited the society's journal The Fleuron from 1925 to 1930. The quality of the publication's artwork and printing was considered exceptional. From 1923 to 1925 he was a staff editor/writer for the Penrose Annual, a graphics arts journal.
From 1923 to 1967 Morison was typographic consultant for the Monotype Corporation. In the 1920s and 1930s, his work at Monotype included research and adaptation of historic typefaces, including the revival of the Baskerville and Bembo types. He pioneered the great expansion of the company's range of typefaces and hugely influenced the field of typography to the present day.
