Designed by Claude Garamond.
Garamond is one of the most used serif typefaces and dates back to 16th century France. It’s history follows and is integrated with the development of the printing press and the popularity and accessibility of book printing and publication.
This continues Garamond’s popularity as a classic typeface
used for publishing.
Garamond is used primarily for its legibility and readability, as well as its warmth and elegance. After Garamond has been refined as many times as it took to become the typeface
we understand and use today, the shape of its characters
are still similar to the handwriting at the time of it’s design,
and has several unique traits that make the typeface appealing
to read and distinguish.
