ABOUT







Scripps College

A typeface by Frederic Goudy from 1941. The Italic followed in 1944. Mac McGrew: Scripps College Old Style was designed and cut in 1941 by Frederic W. Goudy, as a private typeface for the school of that name in Claremont, California. Goudy calls it a straightforward, simple design that displays no freakish qualities. It was used by students at the school for experimental design projects which were printed on an old handpress. The italic was cut three years later.

Digital revivals:

  • Scripps College Old Style (1997, Monotype), by Sumner Stone. Scripps College commissioned this digital revival of Scripps College Old Style.
  • Richard Beatty's Goudy Claremont (1993).
