|
||
description: <p>Garamont’s fonts have set a \
|
||
milestone, on which font designers have been \
|
||
recurring ever since. EB Garamond is an open \
|
||
source project to create a revival of Claude \
|
||
Garamont’s famous humanist typeface from the \
|
||
mid-16th century. Its design reproduces the \
|
||
original design by Claude Garamont: The source \
|
||
for the letterforms is a scan of a specimen \
|
||
known as the “Berner specimen”, which, \
|
||
composed in 1592 by Conrad Berner, son-in-law \
|
||
of Christian Egenolff and his successor at \
|
||
the Egenolff print office, shows Garamont’s \
|
||
roman and Granjon’s italic fonts at \
|
||
different sizes. Hence the name of this \
|
||
project: Egenolff-Berner Garamond.</p> \
|
||
<p>Why another Garamond? The Garamonds are \
|
||
probably the most copied typefaces in \
|
||
the world. There are indeed lots of \
|
||
excellent Garamond fonts, also such that \
|
||
try to approach the original in the same \
|
||
way as EB Garamond does. In the world of \
|
||
free software, however, only few \
|
||
Garamond-inspired fonts exist, and as far \
|
||
as I know, none with the scope of EB \
|
||
Garamond. I know that competition is hard \
|
||
in this field, and these fonts won’t be \
|
||
able to stand up to their commercial \
|
||
counterparts for quite some time. \
|
||
Nevertheless, it's time for the \
|
||
open source community to have a classical \
|
||
Garamond and I promise, I’ll try hard \
|
||
to learn and give my best.</p>
