Know Your Garamond

2007 June 13

While this entry is informative, I am feeling a bit lazy at the moment to write anything, thus the copy-and-paste job. See if you don’t do the same when you’re my age.

Enter the term “Garamond” into the search bar on Linotype.com and you’ll get a wealth of results. But of all the font families, like Stempel Garamond™, Monotype Garamond, Garamond Antiqua, Garamond™ 3, Garamond Classico™, Adobe Garamond™, Garamond Premier, ITC Garamond™, Simoncini Garamond™, and even Sabon™, Monotype Sabon™, or Sabon Next, which is the “real” Garamond?

Just what makes a “Garamond” a Garamond?
