Garalda specimen from TypeTogether

Xavier Dupré's Garamond revival offers a workaday text face with classical proportions updated for contemporary long-form setting, available in four weights with italics.

About

Garalda draws from the Garamond tradition, balancing the refinement of 16th-century French roman letterforms with a warmth suited to everyday reading. Four weights from Regular to Bold each carry a matching italic, and the family includes a full complement of OpenType features: small capitals, swash alternates, stylistic sets, case-sensitive forms and multiple figure styles. Its character positions it well for book and editorial work.

Classification

A contemporary revival of the Garamond tradition, placing it firmly within the Garalde subcategory. It retains the classical proportions and stroke contrast of 16th-century French roman models while introducing a modern sensibility suited to long-form text setting.
