About the family


Frederic Goudy designed his Modern first as a display type with a subtle engraved highlight in 1918. Upon seeing those proofs he inked in the engraved marks and was satisfied the new solid black type would work in text as well. The resulting type has old style characteristics but is more narrow and upright than Venetian or French old style types. Goudy viewed the Modern name as only referring to the design being more contemporary than typical of his other typefaces. 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.
