Klaxon
A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1914. Mac McGrew: Klaxon was designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1914 as a private type for the manufacturers of the Klaxon Auto Warning Signal, an accessory auto horn in the days when this item was not standard equipment. The type is suggestive of Kennerley, but slightly heavier, with some little quirks of design that make it more successful for its intended use as a publicity type rather than for book work. Matrices, which were cut by Robert Wiebking, were lost in Goudy's fire of 1939. |
