Justin Howes (1963–2005) was a British historian of printing and lettering.[1][2][3]

Howes was a curator of the Type Museum of London and wrote on the work of Edward Johnston and William Caslon; his book Johnston's Underground Type on the Johnston lettering commissioned and used by London Underground and its predecessors remains the standard work on the topic.[4][5][6] He also worked as a book and font designer and was working on a PhD at the time of his death.[4][7][8]

The St Bride Foundation holds the annual Justin Howes Memorial Lecture at which scholars and practitioners of typography are invited to present a talk.
