Frederic Goudy

Frederic W. Goudy was a prolific American type designer whose typefaces include Copperplate Gothic, Kennerley, and Goudy Old Style. He also designed, in 1938, University of California Oldstyle, for the sole proprietary use of the University of California Press. The Lanston Monotype Company released a version of this typeface as "Californian" for wider distribution in 1956, while ITC created a digital version, called ITC Berkeley, in 1983.
Goudy Old Style (also known as just Goudy) is a  classic serif typeface originally created for the American Type Founders (ATF) in 1915, and now is currently being used world wide by literally thousands of designers. It can be said that Goudy, is the father of typography because of all the work that he has done.
Goudy old style is his most notable font that he created. Suitable for both text and display applications, Goudy Old Style is a blend of balanced design with a few eccentricities which includes: the curved ear on the g and the shape of a diamond for dots of the i, j, and the points found in the period, colon and exclamation point, and the sharply canted hyphen. The uppercase Q has a strong graceful and calligraphic quality. Generally classified as a Garalde (sometimes called Aldine) face, certain of its attributes—most notably the gently curved, rounded serifs of certain glyphs—suggest a Venetian influence.
Goudy Old Style is considered to be among the most legible and readable serif typefaces for use in print (offline) applications. Goudy designed a total of 116 fonts and published 59 literary works during his lifetime.
