garamond-libre – The Garamond Libre font face

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.

Cur­rently, reg­u­lar, italic and bold fonts are pro­vided; there is no set time­frame for the com­ple­tion of a bold italic.

The fonts are pro­vided in OpenType for­mat, and are in­tended to be used with LuaLaTeX or XeLaTeX via fontspec.
