Oldies But Goudys: An Online Tribute to Type Couple Fred and Bertha

We’ll admit to a protracted love affair with Goudy Stout (Jason Castle‘s recreation of the typeface that Frederic W. Goudy admitted to having created in “a moment of typographic weakness”) that endowed all of our high school papers with a festive circus air.
