 Various examples of Garamond There are several typefaces called Garamond. Some are based on the work of the influential 16th century French type designer Claude Garamond. The “original” Garamond belongs to the family of “Renaissance” or “old style” serif typefaces. The font that most resembles the original Garamond is not named Garamond, but Granjon, to differentiate them from the many other kinds of Garamonds. Image File history File links Garamond_font. ...

Other typefaces such as American Garamond or Elegant Garamond are not, typically, based on Garamond’s work. Instead, they build 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 Robert Granjon, a younger colleague of Garamond. He also designed a coordinated series of italic typefaces. Though less influential, they also clearly belong to a typeface related to Garamond. They also have notably graceful forms. In typography, italic type refers to cursive typefaces based on a stylized form of calligraphic handwriting. ...
