By the way, here’s the context that inspired Goudy’s famous exclamation:
In 1936, Frederic Goudy was in New York City to receive an award for excellence in type design. Upon accepting a certificate1, he took one look at it and declared that “Anyone who would letterspace black letter would steal sheep.”
