Sorts Mill Goudy
Frederic Goudy's Old Style has been the American book serif for a century, and this is a careful revival of the 1915 cut with the 1918 italic beside it. The tells are all present: the diamond-shaped dots, the upturned ear on the g, and the slightly heavy, slightly irregular colour that stops a page of it looking mechanical. It sets long text better than it sets a headline, which is also true of the original.

}Questions
- Is Sorts Mill Goudy free for commercial use?
- Yes. Sorts Mill Goudy is released under the SIL Open Font License 1.1, which allows commercial use with no fee and no attribution requirement. You can use it in client work, in products you sell, on the web and in print. The one thing you may not do is sell the font file on its own. The licence is inside the download.
- Can I use Sorts Mill Goudy in a logo?
- Yes. The licence covers the font software, not the artwork you make with it, so a logo set in Sorts Mill Goudy belongs to you — including if you later register it as a trademark. You do not need permission and you do not owe anything to Barry Schwartz. What the licence stops you doing is redistributing the font file itself as a product.
- How do I install Sorts Mill Goudy?
- Download the zip and unzip it. On a Mac, select the 2 font files inside and open them, then press Install Font. On Windows, select them, right-click and choose Install. Restart any application that was already open before it will show up.
- Does Sorts Mill Goudy support Turkish?
- Yes. Sorts Mill Goudy includes the characters Türkçe needs that plain Latin does not — the dotless ı, the dotted İ, and ğ, ş, ü, ö and ç in both cases. This was checked against the font file itself, not assumed from the fact that it covers Latin.
- What languages does Sorts Mill Goudy support?
- Sorts Mill Goudy covers Latin, Latin Extended and Turkish, across 626 glyphs. Anything outside those alphabets is not included — the character map further up this page shows exactly what you get.
- Where can I download Sorts Mill Goudy as WOFF2?
- From the WOFF2 button on this page — the file is sorts-mill-goudy.woff2, and it is about 37 KB. It is the complete font repacked for the web rather than a cut-down copy: the same glyphs, the same spacing and the same hinting as the .ttf in the download, roughly 60% smaller. Every browser still receiving updates reads WOFF2, so it is the only web format most sites need. Google Fonts does not offer this file for download at all — it serves WOFF2 from its own servers and gives you .ttf if you ask for the family.
Sorts Mill Goudy license
