Goudy Newstyle
Mac McGrew: Goudy Newstyle was designed by Frederic Goudy in 1921, and cut in 18-point only for his Village Letter Foundery. At the time Goudy was interested in using different forms of letters to represent different pronunciations and added twenty-some alternate characters to this font. However, he never made any general use of the added characters. The basic font, though, was used for several books, notably by the Grabhorn Press in San Francisco. In 1935 Goudy recut the typeface without the special characters, and added other sizes. In 1942 he sold the design to Monotype, which later issued it with revisions as Goudy Bible (q.v.). Revivals: Newstyle (2018, Steve Matteson). |
