typecase Posted December 28, 2019 Posted December 28, 2019 I suppose it looks a little like a variant on Goudy's Kennerly, with a bit of horizontal stretching applied but the upper case A with the crossbar on top is unique as is the N with the bit of dip below the baseline. I understand there may not be a digital version but if anyone knows what the original typeface was called it would be greatly appreciated.
Solution Riccardo Sartori Posted December 28, 2019 Solution Posted December 28, 2019 Stretched Lanston’s Italian Old Style (pretty different from the Monotype typeface of the same name): download at MyFonts If you need more weights, you can look for Goudita. 1
typecase Posted December 28, 2019 Author Posted December 28, 2019 Thanks! This helps a lot. I liked your initial thought of Goudita as it matched all the quirks like you said. Since your suggestion of Italian Old Style, I think that the original Italian Old Style is exactly what they used. Goudita, after all, seems like a convenient renaming of 'Goudy Italian Old Style' to fit into an 8 character name which they did when softmaker digitized a lot of these fonts.
