Indices : Paul Duensing

Paul Hayden Duensing was a printer and typefounder who wrote extensively on his field. He sett up his press in Watkinsville, GA and was considered the dean of avocational typefounding in his time. He has so much knowledge of the status of the matrix holdings of the great foundries of Europe. He cut a 30 pt Civilite for Hermann Zapf. Without setting out to do so, he was one of the finest teachers in both the private press and avocational typefounding fields. In an act characteristic of his great generosity, he had in the last year of his life made gifts of his typefounding machines, matrices and effects to promising young people.
Duensing passed the evening of November 9, 2006 after a lengthy battle with ill health.
