Sabon is a classic serif typeface designed in the 1960s by Jan Tschichold for Linotype, Monotype, and Stempel foundries. Belonging to the Serif category, its sub-category is Old-Style Serif (Transitional influence), inspired by the 16th-century typefaces of Claude Garamond with a refined structure optimized for both hot-metal and modern typesetting. Known for its elegance, balance, and readability, Sabon became a favorite in book publishing, editorial design, and high-quality print work. The typeface family includes Roman, Italic, Bold, and Bold Italic styles, offering versatility for body text and headings. A digital revival, **Sabon Next**, further expanded its range with additional weights and improved OpenType features. Sabon is a proprietary font licensed by Monotype and requires a commercial license for professional use.
