Roman lettering
- ... that Roman or Trajan lettering was popular in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century? Source: Nicolete Gray: "In Britain in the twentieth century it was taught in all art schools, promoted in many books, and officially sponsored by the then Ministry of Works...I shall refer to this letter as ‘Trajan’.", John Nash: "The Roman inscriptional capital thrived...in early twentieth century England" (p. 11), "lettering manuals proliferated, each with its V & A photo of the Trajan letters" (p. 19) "a tradition of fine classically-inspired carved lettering which virtually didn’t exist at the beginning of the century [was] firmly established in England by the 1940s" (p. 22). Baines (photo visible here, the last photo) "standard form of official lettering"

Overall: 
Blythwood Very well written article, passes all criteria. The hook is interesting enough, I just wonder if "was popular in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century" could be better worded as something like "became the standard lettering style in Britain in the first half of the twentieth century" because it doesn't seem clear what popularity means.
