Goudytype (or: Goudy Type)
A Venetian typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1916 and realeased by American Typefounders. D.J.R. Bruckner: The design was done for American Type Founders, for a type to be used where "a touch of quaintness" was wanted. "I was pleased with it at the time of its making." Goudy said, "for I felt it represented a liveliness of handling not hitherto expressed in type... but that in itself was not enough to make it a good type." Mac McGrew: Goudytype was drawn for ATF in 1916 by Frederic W. Goudy, but not released by ATF until 1928. It is an original, lively design, slightly suggestive of his Hadriano, designed a little later. The swash capitals are unusual in a roman face. Although cut and marketed in a full range of sizes, it never achieved great use. Steve Matteson revived Goudytype as Goudy Type in 2018. |
