Designer: Frederic W. Goudy
Frederic W. Goudy designed these floriated initials in the early 1900's, and under his direction (Goudy was Lanston's Art Director for several decades) Lanston cut the matrices for casting lead type and released them as Goudy Initials, No 296. The fine craftsmanship has been appreciated by typographers for 70 years.
