Garamond and its variations have been a standard among book designers and printers for four centuries.
Updated by Adobe designer Robert Slimbach, the Adobe Garamond roman fonts and the Adobe Garamond italic fonts are based on types by Robert Granjon, a contemporary of Claude Garamond. This elegant design was released in 1989, and includes three weights, plus a titling font, alternative characters, and the Expert Collection, to provide a flexible family of text types.
