Booklet Old Style
A typeface made in 1916 by Frederic Goudy. D.J.R. Bruckner: This face was named for Goudy's first press and was designed for American Type Founders. Since A.T.F. never displayed it in specimen books, presumably they found it unacceptable. That is a pity: for its time it is a good face and might have had a good influence. Mac McGrew: Booklet Old Style was designed by Frederic W. Goudy for ATF in 1916, as one of the types called for by an arrangement to design exclusively for that company. Goudy speaks of it as a letter simple in construction, plain and unobtrusive, and not terribly distinctive. It is named for the first press established by Goudy in Chicago in 1895. It does not seem to appear in any ATF specimens or literature, nor in the list of ATF matrices inventoried in 1930. |
