Description
Originally designed by Claude Garamond in the 16th century, this font follows the Aldus Manutius model of an influential Venetian typeface. Known for its organic yet structured design, Garamond's typefaces are often used for book printing and body text. However, historical research has shown that many 'Garamond' revivals in the 20th century were actually based on the work of Jean Jannon, one notable example being Monotype Garamond.
