Adobe Garamond is a digital typeface designed by Robert Slimback in 1989 for Adobe Systems. It is based on the Garamond typefaces of the 16th century, particularly those created by Claude Garamond and later revived by Jean Jannon in the 17th century. It is an old-style serif typeface known for its elegance, readability, and classical proportions. It features a modest contrast between thick and thin strokes and includes serifed ascenders and diagonal stress, making it well-suited for book and editorial design.
