The Stempel foundry in Germany produced this variation of Garamond in 1925 as a reproduction of a typeface of a French punchcutter Claude Garamond (middle of the 16th century).
.This design has an angular incised appearance which differs from other Garamond types. It is likewise somewhat much heavier in weight, and is extremely readable as a text face.
.Well suited for a vast array of applications and treatments. Original Garamond is the Bitstream version of Stempel Garamond.
Cyrillic version was established for ParaType in 2002 by Gayaneh Bagdasaryan.
