The right way to BE UNIQUE

Garamond

 

I learned things about serif and sans serif typefaces, variable spaces between letters, and what makes a great typeface great. It was subtly beautiful, historically and artistically, in a way that science cannot capture, and I found it fascinating. None of this had the slightest hope of practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, all of that came back to me

visible from the outside due to the subtle transparency of the acetate and made to an exclusive Good’s design, it reproduces - with an engraved inscription - the right way to look at things developed from right to left, like the lead lines produced by the traditional Linotype typographic machine, invented in 1886 and defined by Thomas Edison as The Eighth Wonder of the World.

Inspiration

The Garamond frame style is inspired by the namesake font, regarded as one of the most famous and influential typefaces in the history of typography. It identifies a series of typefaces designed in Paris in the second half of the 1500s by the typographer Claude Garamond, as commissioned by Francis I of France, inspired by the calligraphy of the court librarian Angelo Vergecio.
It is a graceful Renaissance-style typeface, refined but composed, denoted by high legibility.

Description

Biocetate: the frame is in Mazzucchelli M49 bioacetate, 100% recyclable and biodegradable, without chemical agglomerates to avoid allergic reactions and its natural origin is also revealed to the touch with a pleasant “warm and silky effect”.

Frame front: the front was designed by re-proposing the proportions of the inspiration typeface, reproducing its pleasantly soft line and the lively thickness interplay between ascenders and descenders. The result is a graceful yet delicately poised front.
The opaline top interacts with the translucent base in an interesting trompe d’oeil effect that lightens the frame’s perceptual weight by concealing some of its functional elements, such as the bridge, which becomes partially translucent.

Temples: the sail-style temples owe their name to the shape that resembles a rudder tiller. The earpiece temple tip is pierced with an “O” inspired by Good’s logo.

Curiosity

Garamond is among the most sustainable fonts to print, as its letterforms use less ink than others.
Garamond is part of the serif family, although it features a pretty unpronounced serif with a slight slant in the letters, making for a very interesting typeface.
Because of this, Garamond shares some of its references with other classical sources such as Bodoni, and it has always been a favourite font among writers of classical novels who desire to offer an influential and neat feel to their works.
