Friar
A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1937. D.J.R. Bruckner: Goudy's comment was that he designed this type for his own amusement. He said he based the capitals on the "square capitals" of the fourth century, and the "rustic hands" of medieval scribes. The lower case derived from uncials of the fourth, fifth, sixth, and eighth centuries and from types designed by Victor Hammer and Rudolf Koch. |
