Anna Simons

Bio from Knuf Rare Books:

Anna Simons (1871–1951) was a German calligrapher and type designer. She, along with Graily Hewitt, Eric Gill, and Percy Smith, was one of Edward Johnston’s star pupils at the Royal College of Art in London. In 1918 she started working at the Bremer Presse, a German private press that was active between 1911 and 1939. Like the Doves Press the only ornament they used were initials. Simons designed many initials and titles for them.
