LTC Goudy Text is a blackletter face designed by Frederic Goudy in 1928 based on Gutenberg’s 42-line Bible. Goudy Text Shaded is an inline display variant that was added later by Lanston Monotype as decorative Lombardic Titling Caps intended to accompany and add a more distinctive historical flourish to Goudy Text. A full lowercase was added, along with some handy ligatures and alternates. Consider Goudy Text as an obvious nod to the past or something a little irreverent for today.
