A book of Goudy Old Style typeface, The Old Man's Gold, is dedicated to Frederic W. Goudy. The book contains the history all the way to the usage of this typeface. This book is done as one of my school project in 2011.

The book is done in warm grey as to show the warm of the old man and the classic thinking of him. In the other side it shows how the elegancy of the classic casually meets the modernism. The old books feeling is added to give an old style feelings. But still, playful layout and pages is chosen give a creative value as an typographic book.

Through the making of this book I've learned one thing, "Success only comes with sacrifice". Thank you Fredric of teaching me this, you've done an amazing typefaces and will always be my inspiration.
