Garamond Libre, version 1.2 (April 24, 2020)

Garamond Libre is a free and open-source old-style font family. It is a "true Garamond,"
i.e., it is based off the designs of 16th-century French engraver Claude Garamond (also
spelled Garamont). The Roman design is Garamond’s; the italics are from a design by
Robert Granjon. The upright Greek font is after a design by Firmin Didot; the "italic"
Greek font is after a design by Alexander Wilson. The font family includes support for
Latin, Greek (monotonic and polytonic) and Cyrillic scripts, as well as small capitals,
old-style figures, superior and inferior figures, historical ligatures, Byzantine musical
symbols, the IPA and swash capitals. The fonts are an extended fork based on designs by
George Douros. The fonts are provided in OpenType format, and are intended to be
used with LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX via fontspec.
