Forum Title A caps only typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1911. D.J.R. Bruckner: This elegant capital face was based on inscriptions Goudy had made rubbings from on Trajan's column and the Arch of Titus in Rome in 1910. It was a favorite of Sir Francis Meynell and Bruce Rogers, among others. Mac McGrew: Forum or Forum Title was designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1911, originally intended for headings in a book to be set in Kennerley. The letters are based on rubbings Goudy had made during a visit to Rome the previous year; some of these were on the Arch of Titus in the Roman Forum, hence the name. This is a font of capitals only, as lowercase letters were not in existence for several hundred years after Roman times, but they reflect inscriptional lettering at its classic best.
