Companion Old Style

A unique design accurately revived by Steve Matteson in 2021. Frederic Goudy designed Companion Old Style for Women's Home Companion in 1928. In his own words: I believe the new letter I showed him, both in roman and italic, is one of the most distinctive types I have ever made. It incorporates features which deliberately violate tradition as to stress and curves, but which are so handled that attention is not specifically drawn to the innovations introduced. Companion Old Style exudes the style of pre-World War 2 Americana. The unique characteristics are wonderful for greeting cards, wedding announcements and holiday invitations. Companion's nostalgic letterforms are light hearted and quirky yet highly readable.
