In 1994, Mike Parker wrote an essay, 'Starling Burgess: Type Designer?', published in the Printing History Journal. The text reveals the biography of an American well-known engineer, yacht designer, and poet. Little information on Burgess survived from that period more than 90 years ago, with the rest being protected from being seen. Was Starling Burgess the original designer of Lanston No. 54, whose qualities are recognizable in the world wide known Times New Roman? Times is a typeface designed by Tomáš Hlava, based on Lanston No. 54.
