About
Goodall blends the graphic weight of Victorian wood type with the cleaner geometry of 20th-century slabs, retaining a quirky detail inherited from Vincent Figgins: round punctuation paired with square tittles on the 'i' and 'j'. Open apertures and ink traps aid legibility at small sizes, while the geometric construction keeps forms bold and graphic at display scale. The italic cuts reduce serif count relative to the uprights, a nod to classical serif italic tradition that introduces useful textural contrast across a setting.
