Über uns EB Garamond

EB Garamond is Georg Duffner's open-source revival of the sixteenth-century types of Claude Garamond, one of the most influential typeface designers in Western printing history, based closely on the specimen printed by Conrad Berner in 1592. The variable weight axis covers a range from regular to bold, and the family's extensive script support — Latin, Cyrillic, Greek, Vietnamese — makes it unusually versatile for a typeface so deeply rooted in the Renaissance humanist tradition. It brings scholarly elegance and historical authority to book design, academic publishing, and editorial contexts that prize typographic heritage.

Design Analysis

EB Garamond is a faithful digital revival of Claude Garamond's original sixteenth-century typeface, preserving the organic irregularities and calligraphic warmth of the metal originals. Its high stroke contrast, diagonal stress, and refined serifs create an unmistakably classical appearance. The design includes extensive OpenType features including small caps, old-style figures, and ligatures.

Recommended Use Cases

The definitive choice for projects requiring historical typographic authenticity, from academic papers to literary publishers. Best at larger text sizes on screen; for small UI text, pair with a modern sans-serif.

Contrast (Typography)
The difference between the thickest and thinnest parts of a letter's strokes. High-contrast fonts (like Didot) have dramatic variation.
Ligature
Two or more letters combined into a single glyph, like 'fi' or 'fl'. Common in serif fonts and coding fonts (e.g., Fira Code).
Glyph
A single visual representation of a character. One character can have multiple glyphs (e.g., regular and italic 'a').
