Robert Wakeman   Type Director, Typographer, Designer

It’s one thing to extol the virtues of typography. It’s quite another to demonstrate them as Robert Wakeman has. Over the years he has earned a reputation for his imagination, tastefulness and integrity as a poster designer and typographic consultant. 
His cardinal rule is to treat type as art. 
He never distorts, edits, manipulates or violates a letterform. Instead, he selects type as others choose illustrations, photographs or paintings—to give color, texture and form to a page, as well as to illuminate, animate, dramatize and communicate a message.
—U&lc November, 1987
