Can someone tell me the name of this beautiful typeface?
NIke Considered


Its through Nike Considered

thanks in advance!

That's a proprietary typeface called "Goody". Sorry.


Wow! Do you have a link Franz?

I thought it was something by Fontfont, but the closest I got was Danubia.


well that is a shame!!!


"Goody" seems to be a reinterpretation/remix of several Goudy faces such as Truesdell and Mediaeval (sorry, couldn't find a digital version of that one), with a little Emigre playfulness thrown in.


Sorry Karen, no link, the name was embedded in the Flash file (Goody No124, Goody No125 Cursive etc).. My guess is that they developed it inhouse and it won't ever be available to the public.


Goody is also by our recently-discussed Jens Gelhaar (of Alfa Sans fame). There is a sample of it shown in Roger Walton's 'Alphabook', published in 1999. I could scan it if people want to see it, but Franz is right on. It is based on the work of F. W. Goudy, as Mark suggested.


I have a font called Goudy Claremont that bears a resemblance to the caps, but not to the Italic. It's by Richard Beatty. Sorry, I can't seem to find it anywhere on the web.


yeah. The italic happens to be the one i am in love with and Mark hit it on the nail with the Truesdell link as far as the caps are concerned.
Thanks folks.


Hey, and if you dig a little deeper, he digitized Goudy Mediaeval, too. It's easy to see where some of the look of Goody must have come from.
