1592 GLC Garamond
This family was inspired by the pure Garamond pattern set of fonts used by Egenolff and Berner, German printers in Frankfurt, at the end of sixteen century. All the experts said it was the best and more complete set of the time. The italic style used with was Granjon’s, like in 1543 Humane Jenson. Added are a few fleurons from the same printers.
It can be used as variously as web-site titles, posters and flyers design, publishing texts looking like ancient ones, or greeting cards, all various sorts of presentations, as a very elegant and legible font...
This font supports strong enlargements as easily than small size remaining very smart, elegant and fine. Its original cap height is about five millimeters. Decorated letters like 1512 Initials, 1550 Arabesques, 1565 Venetian, 1584 Rinceau from GLC Foundry, can be used with this family without anachronism.
