Summary:
The most prolific as well as the most articulate of American type designers, Frederic W. Goudy, was also beginning a notable career at the turn of the century. In 1903, Goudy and his wife Bertha established the Village Press at Park Ridge, Illinois, later transferring their operations to New York. During his lifetime he designed more than 100 new type faces, among them Kennerley, considered by some experts the most beautiful since the works of the 18th Century master, William Caslon. He wrote "The Alphabet," "Elements of Lettering," "Typologia," and "A Half Century of Type Design," receiving many academic and graphic arts honors including the gold medals of the American Institute of Graphic Arts and the American Institute of Architects before his death in 1947.
