Berkley Oldstyle Copywriting - For Project 1

ITC Berkley Oldstyle is based off of a design created originally for the University of California Press at Berkley back in 1937. The font continues to be an important part of the University’s graphic identity. The original face was created by type designer Frederic W. Goudy. Goudy is the creator of many other fonts including: Copperplate Gothic, Goudy Old Style and all the other typefaces that bear his name. He has worked as a type designer, author, and teacher of calligraphy.

The ITC version was created by Tony Stan in 1983. Stan is a more contemporary designer who took on the project from the ITC eagerly. While Stan’s version is not an exact copy, it retains much of the original style and so was credited in name as Berkley Oldstyle.
