Goudy Stout CT Font Download

This face was recommended to me by Mark Solsburg, president of FontHaus. At first I was a bit reluctant to revive it, if for no other reason than Frederic Goudy’s admission that he created this design “in a moment of typographic weakness.” However, I put the sample that Mark sent me up on my bulletin board, and over a period of time, it grew on me.
It finally got to the point that I had to recreate the face, and from the response that I’ve gotten, I’m glad I did! Uppercase only with numerals and punctuation.

Frederic W. Goudy (1865-1947) created over 100 typefaces during his lifetime.

This set includes one of Goudy’s rarest Arts & Crafts styled faces, a font known as Aries.
The font was originally created by Goudy for a private press in Eden, New York in 1926. More…
Also included in this set are two decorative fonts: one font of 52 decorative Ornaments & one font that contains 52 Ampersands.

Goudy Catalogue Font Download

Over the course of fifty years, the charismatic and enterprising Frederic W. Goudy designed more than one hundred typefaces; he was the American master of type design in the first half of the twentieth century.

Goudy Old Style, designed for American Type Founders in 1915–1916, is the best known of his designs, and forms the basis for a large family of variants.
Goudy said he was initially inspired by the cap lettering on a Renaissance painting, but most of the flavor of this design reflects Goudy’s own individualistic style. Recognizable Goudy-isms include the upward pointing ear of the g, the diamond-shaped dots over the i and j, and the roundish upward swelling of the horizontal strokes at the base of the E and L.
The italic was completed by Goudy in 1918, and is notable for its minimal slope.
Goudy Catalogue was drawn not by Goudy, but by Morris Fuller Benton (ATF’s skillful in-house designer) in 1919–1921 and was meant to be a medium weight of Goudy Old Style.
The Goudy faces continue to pop up all over the world, and still look reassuring to our modern eyes.
