Goudy, Frederic William (1865-1947)

US type designer and printer. Goudy designed many popular typefaces, including the one that bears his name. His books include A Half Century of Type Design and Typography (1946). He was born in Bloomington, Illinois. After learning the printing trade in small shops and working as an accounting clerk in a Chicago bookstore, Goudy devoted himself to typography. His first venture, Camelot Press, soon failed; a second, Village Press, was suspended after a 1908 fire, but revived after World War I and a second fire in 1939.
