Information

LTC Italian Old Style is a Renaissance serif designed by Frederic Goudy in 1924. Goudy went back to Jenson’s original Roman, among others, for inspiration, and the result is what many consider to be the best Renaissance typeface adapted for modern use. Light and Light Italic were digitized from larger display sizes (14–36 pt), and Regular and Regular Italic were digitized from smaller composition sizes (8–12 pt). The fitting for the regular weight is looser to allow for setting at small sizes.
