Oliver Simon at the Curwen Press

Typeface: Garamond

1530, by Claude Garamont (a type-founder for Robert Estienne among others), the first design where the roman and italic belong together; his consistent preferred spelling was 'Garamont', but the 20th-century types wrongly ascribed to him continue to use the 'Garamond' spelling.

See Simon 1973 p.169, Moran 1971 p.22

1922, Monotype revived 'Caractères de L'Université', based on designs by Jean Jannon of Sedan which had been wrongly attributed to Garamond.
