Garamond is a classic serif typeface family originally designed in the 16th century by Claude Garamond, a French type designer and publisher. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Old-Style Serif (also known as Humanist Serif), characterized by its elegant, organic strokes, moderate contrast, and diagonal stress that enhance readability and give it a timeless, bookish quality. Over the centuries, many revivals and adaptations of Garamond have been created, including popular versions by Adobe, Monotype, and ITC, making it one of the most enduring and widely used typefaces in publishing and design. Garamond is celebrated for its sophistication, excellent legibility in body text, and graceful aesthetic, making it a preferred choice for books, academic papers, branding, and editorial design. Most modern digital versions are proprietary and require licensing for commercial use.
