WHAT DOES GARAMOND MEAN IN ENGLISH?

Garamond

Garamond /ˈɡærəmɒnd/ is the name given to a group of old-style serif typefaces named after the punch-cutter Claude Garamont . Many of the Garamond faces are more closely related to the work of a later punch-cutter, Jean Jannon. A direct relationship between Garamond’s letterforms and contemporary type can be found in the Roman versions of the typefaces Adobe Garamond, Granjon, Sabon, and Stempel Garamond. Garamond’s letterforms convey a sense of fluidity and consistency. Some unique characteristics in his letters are the small bowl of the a and the small eye of the e. Long extenders and top serifs have a downward slope. Garamond is considered to be among the most legible and readable serif typefaces for use in print applications. It has been noted that it uses much less ink than Times New Roman at a similar point size, a fact partially attributable to Garamond having shorter characters at the same point size compared to Times New Roman and also to Garamond's narrower stroke widths. Garamond, along with Times New Roman and Century Gothic, has been identified by the GSA as a "toner-efficient" font.
