From the specimen:
This paper … is probably some of the last made for the Kelmscott Press, founded by William Morris and hand made paper of Joseph Batchelor and Sons, at Little Chart in Kent. … The type used is Kelmscott Troy, cast from the original matrices, and this specimen has been printed on a Victoria platen press at the Rampant Lions Press, Cambridge, 1974.
In 2001, Richard Kegler of P22 has created a set of digital typefaces based on Morris’ work, including Morris Troy.
