It is a community
project to create
a revival of Claude Garamont's
famous humanist typefaces
from the mid-16th century.
This digital version reproduces the original design by Claude Garamont closely: The source for the letterforms is a scan of a specimen known as the "Berner specimen," which was composed in 1592 by Conrad Berner, the son-in-law of Christian Egenolff and his successor at the Egenolff print office. This specimen shows Garamont's roman and Granjon's italic types at different sizes.
Hence the name of this project:
Egenolff-Berner Garamond.
