ABOUT







Marlborough

A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1925. Mac McGrew: Marlborough was designed in 1925 by Frederic W. Goudy for a printer who lost interest before it was completed. As matrices for the 16-point size had been cut by Robert Wiebking, Goudy cast a few fonts, but was not pleased with the results. Revisions were drawn, but were not completed before his I. workshop was destroyed by fire in 1939. In 1942 the design was sold to Monotype, but there is no evidence that they did anything with it. The name is from the town in New York where Goudy lived and worked. In fact, Goudy died in 1947 in Marlborough-on-Hudson, NY.
