Franciscan
A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1932. D.J.R. Bruckner: Goudy had recut the Aries face first made in 1926, intending to "use it for my own printing rather than to offer it for general sale," but he was persuaded to sell it to Edwin Grabhorn, who suggested the new name. Mac McGrew: Franciscan is the redesigned and recut Aries typeface of Frederic W. Goudy, renamed in 1932 by Edwin Grabhorn, an eminent San Francisco printer, who used it for several distinctive and award-winning books. Monotype made mats from the types cast by Goudy for private use of the California printer calling the design Goudy Franciscan. Digital versions: Franciscan Caps NF (2008, Nick Curtis). |
