Hm, yes, that's rather nice.

Oh, that's amusing, too. The shapes of the serifs on the left of the B and D jumped out at me as particularly pretty. Then I realised they were reminding me of another font. After a couple of false starts, I realised what: Garamond! Goudy appears to have some of Garamond's good points, but to be just enough unlike Garamond that it doesn't instantly remind me of doing tedious DTP of ISO 9000 forms. Which can only be a good thing :-)
