Goluska
Rod McDonald designed Goluska as a tribute the late Glenn Goluska, a typographer and book designer who got his start at Coach House Press in the 1970s before establishing his own imprints, imprimerie dromadaire and Nightshade Press. The Goluska typeface takes inspiration from the aesthetic of W.A. Dwiggins, whose designs Goluska admired, and feature "open counters, clean curves and sharp finish", all of which make it highly legible and "robust enough to mee the demands of a new generation of designers."
Goluska contains:
- three weights with accompanying italics
- small caps
- eight types of figures
- complete set of f-ligatures
- automatic fractions
