Frederic W. Goudy Award The Frederic W.

Cary, Jr., a typographer, type importer, fine printer, book collector, and president of AIGA (American Institute of Graphic Arts). The award was named after American type designer Frederic W. Goudy, a friend and business associate of Melbert Cary. The Goudy Award and Lecture was given annually from 1969 to 1995.
