}}Deepdene is a serif typeface designed by Frederic Goudy from 1927–1933.[1] It belongs to the "old-style" of serif font design, with low contrast between strokes and an oblique axis. However, Deepdene has crisp serifs and a nearly upright italic, with much less of a slant than is normal for this style.[1]

Issued by the American branch of Lanston Monotype, Deepdene was popular on its release and often used for the body text of books.[1][4][2] Several digitisations have been created.

Deepdene is named after Goudy's home in Marlborough-on-Hudson.[4][3][4] This was itself named for the road on which he previously lived in Queens, New York.[5][6]

Design

Goudy described the design as loosely inspired by "a Dutch type which had just been introduced;" Goudy's friend Paul Bennett suggested in later life that this was Jan van Krimpen's Lutetia although Walter Tracy writes that the attribution cannot be certain.[7] He also later created a medium weight, bold and bold italic.[1]

Goudy's biographer D. J. R. Bruckner praised the design as "the type that brings together the most characteristics of Goudy types the best".[8]

Goudy later created a blackletter design, Deepdene Open Text and the derived Deepdene Text, which was intended to complement it for purposes such as initial capitals.{{efn|Text means "textura", a term meaning blackletter. It does not in this context indicate a font intended for body text.}} The designs are not related otherwise.[9]

The family in metal type included:

  • Deepdene (1927, Continental, later rereleased by Lanston Monotype) Changes were made to fit Monotype's hot metal typesetting system, which placed restrictions on what widths characters could be.
  • Deepdene Italic (1929), matrices cut by Goudy's wife Bertha.
    • Deepdene Medium (1931), designed for Lanston Monotype but apparently never cast.
  • Deepdene Bold + Bold Italic (c. 1933-4, Lanston Monotype)

Digitisations

{{see also|List of typefaces designed by Frederic Goudy}}

Deepdene has been digitised and released by several organisations and software companies. P22's digitisation under their LTC imprint perhaps uniquely includes the swash capitals and small caps in italics.[10] The open-source "League of Movable Type" project has released an open-source digitisation, "Linden Hill", by Barry Schwartz, in regular and italic with swashes but without bold weights.[11]
