ABOUT THE FONT

Goudy Sans is the quirkiest of the Humanist sans serifs, although
its relationship to other designs in this class is quite apparent.
Oldstyle proportions, oblique stress, and subtle variations of stroke
weight. The roman form is somewhat less geometric than Gill Sans and
Syntax, and its italics are significantly more embellished, almost
to the point of approaching a script face. Particularly note the
uppercase A and Q, which are beautiful in the italics. You'll also
notice that Goudy Sans has very slight hints of serifs on most of
its stems.
    Like the other Humanists, Goudy Sans' italics are true italics,
and not simply obliqued versions of the roman letters.

SOME WORDS ABOUT DIGITAL TYPE DESIGN GUIDE

"In a sea of nearly-useless type books, it [Digital Type Design Guide]
 is a fine piece of work."

             JIM SEYMOUR
             (columnist, PC Magazine)

"Anyone even remotely interested in type and design needs this book.
 The CD alone is worth much more than the cover price."

             JOHN C. DVORAK

"At last! A top-notch guide to digital fonts. Having taught a course
 in digital fonts management for a university extension graphic
 design program, I've often been asked to recommend a book on the
 use and understanding of digital fonts. Frustratingly enough, there
 hasn't been one -- till now. The first third of Cavanaugh's book
 provides a thorough, accurate, understandable explanation of the
 technical and stylistic issues; the balance of the book deals with
 type in design. The cross-platform character charts on pages 68 and
 69 are, by themselves, worth the price of the book. The book is well-
 written, easy to understand, and includes a ton of Macintosh and
 Windows fonts on an enclosed CD-ROM."
