字体介绍
16世纪上半叶，Claude Garamond（约1480-1561年）为巴黎学者印刷商Robert Estienne刻字，其罗马体是根据Francesco Griffo在1495年为威尼斯印刷商Aldus Manutius切割的字体而设计的。Garamond在后来的版本中完善了其罗马体，随着他作为字冲雕刻师技能的提高，其中也加入了他自己的理念。在他1561年去世后，Garamond冲床被搬到了位于安特卫普的Christoph Plantin的印刷办公室，在这里被Plantin使用了数十年，至今仍保存于Plantin-Moretus博物馆中。Garamond的其他冲床都进入了Egenolff-Berner的法兰克福铸造厂，Egenolff-Berner于1592年发布了一个样本，成为后来的学者和设计师了解有关Garamond字体的一个重要的信息来源。1621年，即Garamond逝世六十年后，法国印刷商Jean Jannon（1580-1635）发行了一种字体样本，它的特征与Garamond设计类似，但是其字母的斜度和轴线更加不对称且不规则。Jannon的字体销声匿迹了大约200年，但1825年在法国国家印刷局被重新发现，当时它们被错误地认为是Claude Garamond。直到1927年Beatrice Warde的研究才揭示了它们的真正起源。20世纪早期，Jannon的字体被用来印刷一本法国的印刷史，这使人们重新注意到法国排印和Garamond字体。这激发了现代复兴的开始。一些基于Jannon字体的错误模型，而另一些则基于原始的Garamond字体。Garamond字体的斜体有时是基于Robert Granjon (1513-1589)切割的字体，Robert Granjon创作过Plantin，而且他的字体也在Egenolff-Berner的样本上。Linotype有多个Garamond版本的字体。虽然它们在设计和原型上各不相同，但它们均被视为法国文艺复兴时期风格的独特代表；它们的优雅和可读性都很易于识别。<br>
Garamond Classico™由Franko Luin于1993年设计，并以Jean Jannon的形式为基础。它包括四种字重和小型大写字母。<br><br>
Claude Garamond (ca. 1480-1561) cut types for the Parisian scholar-printer Robert Estienne in the first part of the sixteenth century, basing his romans on the types cut by Francesco Griffo for Venetian printer Aldus Manutius in 1495. Garamond refined his romans in later versions, adding his own concepts as he developed his skills as a punchcutter. After his death in 1561, the Garamond punches made their way to the printing office of Christoph Plantin in Antwerp, where they were used by Plantin for many decades, and still exist in the Plantin-Moretus museum. Other Garamond punches went to the Frankfurt foundry of Egenolff-Berner, who issued a specimen in 1592 that became an important source of information about the Garamond types for later scholars and designers. In 1621, sixty years after Garamond’s death, the French printer Jean Jannon (1580-1635) issued a specimen of typefaces that had some characteristics similar to the Garamond designs, though his letters were more asymmetrical and irregular in slope and axis. Jannon’s types disappeared from use for about two hundred years, but were re-discovered in the French national printing office in 1825, when they were wrongly attributed to Claude Garamond. Their true origin was not to be revealed until the 1927 research of Beatrice Warde. In the early 1900s, Jannon’s types were used to print a history of printing in France, which brought new attention to French typography and the Garamond" types. This sparked the beginning of modern revivals; some based on the mistaken model from Jannon’s types, and others on the original Garamond types. Italics for Garamond fonts have sometimes been based on those cut by Robert Granjon (1513-1589), who worked for Plantin and whose types are also on the Egenolff-Berner specimen. Linotype has several versions of the Garamond typefaces. Though they vary in design and model of origin, they are all considered to be distinctive representations of French Renaissance style; easily recognizable by their elegance and readability.
