“Californian and Californian Italic were cut by Monotype in 1958 as a reissue of University of California Old Style and Italic, which had been designed by Frederic W. Goudy as a private type for the Press of that school.” [McGrew 1993]

For digital options, see FB Californian, a revised and expanded version (Font Bureau, 1994–1999), and LTC Californian (Paul Hunt for Lanston Type Company, 2005, used for sample). The latter stays close to the original and offers Text and Display cuts.
