Barry Schwartz’s Open-Font-Licensed #Goudy Old Style and Italic #fonts
“In 1915, Frederic W. Goudy designed #Goudy Old Style, his twenty-fifth typeface, and his first for American Type Founders. Flexible enough for both text and display, it is one of the most popular typefaces ever produced, frequently used for packaging and advertising. Its recognizable features include the diamond-shaped dots on i, j, and on punctuation marks, the upturned ear of the g, and the [upturned] base of E and L.” #fonts #history
Site of Barry Schwartz, who created Sorts Mill #Goudy. He has some lovely #ebooks there too, and some other free #fonts, including Fanwood (based on Rudolf Ruzicka’s Fairfield), Goudy Bookletter (a Kennerley), Juvelo (based on Diethelm-Antiqua), and Linden Hill (based on Goudy’s Deepdene).

David Armstrong of Sevanti Letterpress also scanned the American Type Foundry’s 01923 specimens and catalog, although only at 400 dpi. With #Goudy #fonts, etc.

Oh wow, Morris Benton designed sans-serif #fonts as early as 01908! I wonder why McMurtrie’s book didn't mention this; it was very complimentary to Benton, but sans-serif type was conspicuous entirely in its absence.
