Claude Garamond



         


There are several typefaces called Garamond. Some are based on the work of the great 16th-century French type designer Claude Garamond. The Original Garamond belongs to the family of Renaissance serif typefaces; see "typeface" for more on classification.

Other typefaces such as American Garamond or Elegant Garamond are not, typically being based instead on the rather different typefaces of Jean Jannon. Italic typefaces called "Garamond" are almost never based on Garamond's own italics; usually they are derived from typefaces by Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipisicing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt ut labore et dolore magna aliqua.
