For Immediate Release.

April 3rd, 2005 Buffalo, NY:

Lanston Type Company (LTC), P22 type foundry's newest division, announces the release of 32 remastered classic type faces as Lanston Collection B.

The new Lanston releases feature re-mastered fonts of preeminent type designer Frederic Goudy including Californian, Village #2, Goudy Oldstyle, Goudy HeavyFace, Deedene Bold, and Goudy Initials. Also included are fonts designed by Sol Hess and Bruce Rogers.

Frederic Goudy was Art Director of Lanston Monotype Company from 1920-1947. He is credited for over 100 classic faces, 30 of which were designed for Lanston. Highlights for Lanston Collection B are the striking roman faces, LTC Californian and LTC Village #2.

LTC Californian was newly digitized using the original patterns from which the metal type was made as direct reference. These artifacts are the last known surviving patterns made by Frederic Goudy. Californian was originally made for the University of California at Berkeley. This digitization remains as true as possible to the original design.
