description ITC Garamond Overview
ITC Garamond is a digital serif typeface released by the International Typeface Corporation and designed by Tony Stan. It draws on the Garamond tradition of Renaissance-era French type, but its proportions are adapted for modern typesetting, particularly through a comparatively large x-height and compact forms. The family has been used for text and display composition and is associated with the post-1970 revival of old-style serif typography rather than with a direct reproduction of a single historical Garamond.
