{{EngvarB|date=January 2018}}{{Use dmy dates|date=January 2018}}Alfred John Fairbank CBE (12 July 1895 – 14 March 1982) was a British calligrapher and author on handwriting.[1][2]

Influenced by Edward Johnston, Fairbank[3] was a founding member of the Society of Scribes and Illuminators in 1921, and became chairman.[4] He was involved in the foundation of the Society for Italic Handwriting in 1952; his work and 1932 textbook A Handwriting Manual were influential on the italic script handwriting taught in British schools.[5][6] His portrait was painted by Anna Hornby.[7][8] For Penguin Books he wrote A Book of Scripts, on writing systems used throughout the world.[9] Fairbanks was a civil servant who spent his professional career working at the Admiralty in London and Bath; he retired to Hove on the south coast and lectured at what is now the University of Brighton after his retirement.[10][11][12][13]

Fairbank also designed one upright italic typeface for Monotype.[14] It was named "Bembo Condensed Italic", Monotype series 294 as part of their Bembo family, a name which irritated Fairbank who thought it should have been kept as an independent design.[15] This face was for the composition caster in metal type only available in 4 sizes: 10, 12, 13 and 16pt. The last size was made for large composition. It was digitised in 2004 as "Fairbank".[16][17][18]
