About the family


Frederic Goudy was inspired by a French engraving in Alex Pollard’s “Fine Books” to draw a display typeface with an inlined highlight in 1918. Goudy viewed the name Modern as only referring to the design being more contemporary than typical of his other typefaces – and not to be confused with the moderns of Bodoni and Didot. Steve Matteson added the light and heavier weights to extend the range of capability of the family, and to roughly interpret Goudy’s Goethe which is a lighter text typeface based on the original Goudy Modern.
