Both Palatino and Goudy are serif-faces with similar x-heights and set widths. However, Goudy is slightly narrower and Palatino is slightly taller, in terms of x-height. Goudy has more modulation and higher contrast between the thick and thin strokes. The brackets to Goudy's serifs are more pronounced. Though still triangular, Palatino's serifs are flatter than Goudy's. The bowls on the R and P do not connect to the stem in Palatino.
Goudy wins.
