Garamond Font

Garamond's types were, in turn, based on those used by Aldus Manutius in 1495 and cut by Francesco Griffo.

The italic is based on types cut in France circa 1557 by Robert Granjon. Garamond is a beautiful typeface with an air of informality which looks good in a wide range of applications. It works particularly well in books and lengthy text settings.
