List of typefaces designed by Frederic Goudy

The following is a list of typefaces designed by Frederic Goudy

From 1911 to 1926 (with a few exceptions) Goudy's designs were cut by Wiebking. Some were private commissions, others were cut first and then offered for sale.

In 1915 and 1916, Goudy was on retainer for American Type Founders and all of his matrices were cut in house by ATF.

From 1926 until his death, Goudy cut all of his own faces (at least in the pilot sizes).[2] From 1927-1929, Goudy cast type at his own Village Letter Foundry and marketed them through the Continental Type Founders Association. After 1929 he ceased casting his own fonts and they were cast for Continental by the New England Type Foundry.[3]
