Description

Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - He was thirty when he first drew an alphabet, forty-six before he counted himself a professional type designer. Yet by the end of his long life Frederic Goudy had become the most famous type designer in the world. This eccentric American treated more than a hundred faces, including perhaps a dozen that rank among the best ever made. He was an exasperating loner, but he used his celebrity to stimulate and enliven debates about type and typography that amounted to a kind of national education in the esthetics of type design.
