Updike, Daniel Berkeley
Updike, Daniel Berkeley (1860–1941), Massachusetts printer, whose Merrymount Press was founded in 1893. Although he began by introducing the heavily ornamented style of William Morris, all of his later work is distinguished by a simple use of type without embellishment, depending for effect upon harmonious proportion. His writings include Printing Types: Their History, Forms, and Use (2 vols., 1922) and In the Day's Work (1924), essays on typography.
