ParaType's offering of the ITC Garamond in four weights with matching italics, totalling eight styles across the standard family.
About
ITC Garamond departs from historical Garamond revivals through its notably large x-height, a hallmark of the International Typeface Corporation's 1975 interpretation by Tony Stan. The family spans four weights from Light to Ultra, each with a matching italic. It is suited to editorial and book work where a familiar old-style character is required with improved legibility at small sizes.
Classification
A digitisation of the ITC Garamond, itself based on the Garamond tradition of old-style roman type originating in 16th-century France. The large x-height and open forms are characteristic of the ITC interpretation rather than the historical original.
