The original Lanston Monotype type showing stated "in placing crispness into Deepdene Bold Italic, Mr. Goudy has maintained in it the outstanding features of his other Deepdene faces...The inclination is somewhat less than usual in italic designs, and the letters have a pen drawn effect which is distinctive as well as pleasing. The Deepdene family is unique among Mr. Goudy's diversified types." We concur.

This family is available at a discount in the Lanston Collection.
