Venezia Italic
A typeface designed by Frederic Goudy in 1925. D.J.R. Bruckner: This face was made at the request of the London designer and typographer George W. Jones, to accompany his Venezia Roman. Stanley Morison said Goudy's face was based entirely on a French italic font cut by Claude Garamond around 1535. Goudy insisted, however, that he had made the design with reference only to Jones' roman. Mac McGrew: Venezia Italic (quite unlike Venezia) was designed by Frederic W. Goudy in 1925 to accompany a typeface which George W. Jones, a well-known English printer and designer, had drawn for the English Linotype Company. It is somewhat similar to Cloister, but with stronger serifs. |
