ATF Camelot Old Style
An example of Goudy's early work as a book designer and lettering artist. It was reprinted in "Letters and Letter Construction" by F.J. Trezise (The Inland Printer Company, 1910).
By 1896, Frederick W. Goudy was beginning to "make a name for himself" as a Chicago type designer. Thanks to valuable contacts at The Inland Printer, he published "self-promos" in this internationally high-profile journal.
As suggested by Berne Nadall of Barnhart Bros. & Spindler (Chiacgo), William E. Loy wrote to him in September 1896 requesting input on his plan for researching and writing "Designers and Engravers of Type."
The same year, Goudy sold caps-only Camelot, his first commercial type design, to ATF Boston (formerly the Dickinson TF). He and J.W. Phinney patented a dual-case version in 1900.
According to records curated by the Cary Graphic Arts Collection, Rochester Institute of Technology (Rochester, NY), Mr. Goudy had designed Camelot more than 30 years earlier (1869): www.scribd.com/doc/72891449/RIT-Goudy-List
