Rail Alphabet 2 to Gatwick Airport, Margaret Calvert: Woman at Work Exhibit  at Design Museum in London, until January 10, 2021 (Covid willing).

After  studying art and illustration at Chelsea College of Arts, Margaret Calvert fell into typography after being handpicked by Jock Kinneir.

She was the younger partner and did not get as much credit as she should have for her contributions to their work until Jock Kinneir's death in 1994.
