Bfgs.Studio · Guido Schneider · 2010
A Garamond-inspired text serif in two weights with true italics, small caps, oldstyle figures and an extensive ligature set.
About
Drawing on the forms of Claude Garamond, BF Girando Pro offers a restrained two-weight family – Regular and Bold, each with a true italic – focused on refined detail rather than range. Each font contains 689 glyphs, covering small caps, oldstyle and lining figures, ornaments and a rich selection of ligatures. The deliberate reduction to four fonts is presented as a strength, keeping the family cohesive and purposeful for editorial and book work.
Classification
Inspired by Claude Garamond's work, BF Girando Pro falls squarely within the Garalde (Old Style) serif tradition, characterised by moderate stroke contrast, bracketed serifs and elegant proportions suitable for text setting.
