弗兰克·辛曼·皮尔蓬特(Frank Hinman Pierpont,1860年—1937年),美国工程师、字体设计师。
皮尔彭特于1860年在美国康涅狄格州纽黑文出生,1937年2月11日在英格兰逝世[1][2]。他主要在英国Monotype Corporation公司任职[3][4][5]。
他在美国康涅狄格州哈特福德学习机械工程之后,于1886年开始在一家专利局从事排版机的工作。1894前往欧洲,并在1896年成为了德国排版机制造商Typograph Setzmachinen-Fabrik的主管。
他于1899年帮助组建位于英国萨里的Lanston Monotype公司并担任工厂经理,后来成为英国分公司的董事会成员,并一直任职到其去世的前一年,即1936年[6][7][8]。在Monotype工作期间,他监督了多款经典、创新的字体(例如Times New Roman等)制作[9][10]。据报道,他对Monotype的艺术顾问Stanley Morison和宣传经理Beatrice Warde的艺术野心表示怀疑,他在一本1920年代的Gill Sans字体备忘中曾抱怨说,“这款字没什么值得推荐的,而且有很多地方难以令人接受。”[11][12][13][14]
闲暇之时,皮尔蓬特喜欢种玫瑰。他于1936年从工程经理职位上退休,并成为顾问工程师,在董事会任职,但于翌年去世。[15]

That it was Pierpont himself who was central to this drive for quality is made abundantly clear by the abrupt changes that are seen after his retirement in 1937. All the types produced during the brief period before the Second World War, although they naturally have many fine features, are more or less flawed.
