Tory Text
A blackletter typeface by Frederic Goudy, designed in 1935, and modeled after the lettre batarde used by Geoffroy Tory in his Champs Fleury. Mac McGrew: Tory Text was a frankly archaic type designed and produced by Frederic W. Goudy in 1935. For a small edition of a twelfth-century story which he intended to print, Goudy chose a sixteenth-century type design to express the qualities he had in mind. This was redrawn in an attempt to make it more legible for modern readers while retaining the ancient spirit. Goudy describes Tory Text as one of his favorite types, and says that he enjoyed every minute of its making. See Village Text. For a digital revival, we refer to Steve Matteson's Tory (2018). |
