The face has a big x-height, as there is little point in including to the stock of rangy "book" Jensons. In spite of this departure from the archetype, in other respects Goodchild is real to the original letter kinds in its tight fit, modulation of stroke contrast, and adjustment of x-height and serif size. Jenson's tiny tittles and diamond-shaped periods have, however, been relinquished.
The finish is not the antiquing that one typically finds in Renaissance revivals. Here tidy, decisive information provide a freshly minted, contemporary look, supplying a wise impression should one wish to utilize the face at display size.
