Garamon(d/t) specimen from Uncut

A two-cut display face by Paul Tubert that plays on the Garamond/Garamont naming dispute, available free under the WTFPL licence.

About

Paul Tubert's Garamon(d/t) arrives in two cuts and takes its name from the long-standing scholarly argument over whether the typeface we call Garamond should really be attributed to Claude Garamont. The WTFPL licence permits commercial use, modification and redistribution with minimal restrictions. It sits naturally in editorial and display contexts where a historically inflected serif is wanted without the cost of a commercial licence.

Classification

The foundry classifies this as Display; the name references both Garamond and Garamont, suggesting a playful historical riff on the classic old-style serif tradition, presented as a display cut.
