(Preface) 'ITC Golden Type is a revival of one of the three typefaces produced by William Morris. The other two were blackletter fonts, and though well-designed, did little to change or to influence typography or future typeface design. His Golden Type, however, had a tremendous affect on both German and American graphic communication...'

(Description) 'ITC Golden Type is available in Original, Bold and Black weights, and is a part of the ITC Master Works Series. Small caps have been created for the Original and Bold weights. Oldstyle figures, in addition to a paragraph mark and two ornaments, are available in all weights. Due to the nature of this design, we do not recommend setting ITC Golden Type in smaller than 8pt, or with tight letter-spacing. Only licensed ITC Subscribers are authorized to reproduce, manufacture, and offer for sale these and other ITC typefaces shown in this issue. This license is your guarantee of authenticity. These new types faces will be available to the public on, or after November 20, 1989, depending on each manufacturer's release schedule.'
