EB Garamond is an open-source digitization of Claude Garamont's 16th-century typeface, based on the 1592 Egenolff-Berner specimen, released under the SIL Open Font License. The repository contains font source files built with FontForge, covering Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic scripts with OpenType features like small caps and multiple number styles, plus webfont builds.
Use cases
- use a free classical Garamond typeface in documents
- embed a Garamond webfont via @font-face
- typeset books with renaissance-style typography and small caps
- find an OFL-licensed alternative to commercial Garamond fonts
- build fonts from source with FontForge
- use Garamond with XeLaTeX or LuaLaTeX
When to choose
- you need a free, openly licensed Garamond revival for print or web
- you want OpenType features like small caps, initials, and oldstyle figures
- you need extended Latin, Greek, or Cyrillic coverage in a classical serif
When to avoid
- you need a polished, production-grade font with consistent quality across all weights
- you need small subsetted webfonts with tiny file sizes
- you need a modern sans-serif or contemporary design aesthetic
