Deepdene is a classic Frederic Goudy design named after his modest estate in Marlboro New York. It was originally designed in 1927 for his own Village
Letter Foundry but adapted to Lanston Monotype machine casting in 1928 with the addition of Italics. Like many of Goudy's italics, the inclination is subtle and in his own words "drew each character without reference to any other craftsman's work". The digital version of this handsome series includes roman, italic, small caps, accents, ligatures and swash italic.
This family is available at a discount in the
