One of my favorite typefaces has a story - MrsEaves
Check it out!
MrsEaves
This typeface is named after Sarah Eaves, the woman who
became John Baskerville’s wife. As Baskerville was setting
up his printing and type business, Mrs. Eaves moved in with
him as a live-in housekeeper, eventually becoming his wife
after the death of her first husband, Mr. Eaves. Like the widows
of Caslon, Bodoni, and the daughters of Fournier, Sarah similarly
completed the printing of the unfinished volumes that John
Baskerville left upon his death.
