In 1938, Frederic W. Goudy designed California Oldstyle, his most distinguished type, for University of Calif. Press. In 1958, Lanston issued it as Californian. Carol Twombly digitized the roman 30 years later for California; David Berlow revised it for Font Bureau with italic and small caps; Jane Patterson designed the bold. In 1999, assisted by Richard Lipton & Jill Pichotta, Berlow designed the black and the text and display series.

This is a more accurate digitization of Goudy’s original than the more common ITC Berkeley Oldstyle.
