Record Title

A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1927. MacMcGrew: Record Title was designed in 1927 by Frederic W. Goudy as a private ype for The Architectural Record magazine, commissioned by Charles De Vinne, art director of the magazine and grandson of Theodore L. De Vinne. Goudy based his work on a treatise on classic letter design printed at Parma by Damianus Moyllus in 1480, but soon found that the geometrical proportions advocated by that work had to be modified considerably for good appearance as type. But Goudy considered this one of the most satisfactory commissions of his career. The magazine used the type for several years, until the popularity of sans serifs displaced such classic roman letters.
