With most digitizations of old metal typefaces, one source size is often used as reference, but the original hot metal versions were made using different masters for different size ranges. The light weights of Goudy Italian Oldstyle were digitized from display sizes (72-24) and the regular weights were digitized from smaller sizes (12-14). The fitting for the regular weights is noticeably looser to allow for better setting as small sizes.
