Font Bureau’s FB Garamond is a digitization & expansion of the Garamond that Robert Hunter Middleton designed for Ludlow in 1929. Middleton based his design on the 1592 Egenolff-Berner specimen.

So, I would classify FB Garamond under Garamont.

Aren't many Garamond italics based on the work of Robert Granjon?

I was going to say: you should definitely include Robert Granjon on here - a true master. I believe ITC Galliard and countless others were based on his cuts.

Trevor — I think adding romans based on Granjon (handsome and deserving as they are) would be expanding the brief beyond what Thomas is attempting to do here, which is to divvy up the various romans typically called “Garamond”s into those truly derived from Garamont’s types and those derived from the Caractère de l’Université, which was originally mistakenly attributed to Garamont, but was in fact designed by Jannon.

Thomas — Both Garamond No. 4 and Garamond No. 5 seem to be digitized from the same source: Typoart Garamond, which looks to be derived from the Jannon lineage, not the Garamont.

Garamond 96 DT looks to be from the Garamont lineage. Whereas Garamond DT appears to be from the Jannon side of things.

Original Garamond BT is based closely on Stempel Garamond and thus can claim to descend from Garamont.

If you’d provided links to all your unclassified fonts, it would be easier to help you out.

Thank you very much.

Kentlew, that's true, but I thought the purpose of this list was to help classify the myriad garaldes by their proper designer/influence. If so, Granjon was the inspiration behind many seminal typefaces in this style. Or maybe I'm just misunderstanding this thread. ;)

Trevor — I guess maybe the OP will have to clarify his intention. If the objective is really to sort all Garaldes, well, that is a much larger task.

With regard to italic styles, yes, many Garalde italics are based on Granjon’s model(s). In terms of romans, however, I’m not so certain that there are really all that many.

For one thing, Granjon didn’t cut as many romans as he did other types. In the Plantin Folio Specimen c. 1585, for instance, I count that of the faces attributed to Granjon, 11 are italics, 9 are other (greek, bâtarde, civilité, syriac, etc.), and only 5 are roman.

That was a quick count, so I could be off by one or two. And that one specimen is certainly not a thorough inventory of Granjon’s work, but I would expect it to be more or less representative.

Maybe I’m just not thinking of all the ones you are. We could hijack the thread and count them up here anyway. ;-)

I get ITC Galliard, Meno, Lyon, and MVB Verdigris. What’ve you got?

P.S. You can just call me Kent.

My aim was just to distinguish between the two sorts of Garamond-Typefaces. But now that this is done, you can of course hijack this thread. So go on!

Don't forget ATF Garamond under Jannon. I'm not sure if a digital version exists.

Possibly Hoefler text under Jannon. Or is it just jannonesque?

Here is a pdf-specimen of the basis glyphs (A to Z, a to z and 0 to 9) of the different Garamont and Jannon typefaces.

From an old post by Kent Lew: ATF Garamond in digital form travels under the name of Garamond 3, available in the Adobe library. This digital cutting is based on the 1936 adaptation of the design for the Linotype machine and varies in its widths and the details of some forms from the foundry original.

> From an old post by Kent Lew:

I should probably have clarified, in that earlier statement, that the digital Garamond 3 is more or less equivalent to ATF Garamond in text sizes. The ATF in display sizes becomes a different beast altogether.

A couple more:

Typoart Garamond (Elsner + Flake)

Augereau (George Abrams)

And a brand new one:

Aragon (Hans van Maanen)

Garamond TB = Typoart Garamond (Elsner + Flake)

Two more for the list:

American Garamond is/was Bitstream's version of Garamond 3, and is pretty widespread under that name.
URW Garamond is another fairly common Garamond

Where would you put ITC Garamond?
Just kidding :)

Now for real,
Adding EB Garamond to the list
http://www.google.com/webfonts/family?family=EB+Garamond&subset=latin#de...

According to Jean-François Porchez, Sabon Next owes more to Guillaume II Le Bé (by way of Tschichold, of course) than to Garamond himself.

You could say Guillaume II Le Bé owes a little something to Garamont as well.

Bob, can you tell us why you posted the copyright info screen shot from American Garamond? I already said it was made by Bitstream, just trying to figure out your point....

Cheers,

T

Hi Thomas, Just to validate that Bitstream did put out American Garamond as you pointed out but with a is/was proviso.
