1) GARAMOND-Originated in the 16th century by Claude Garamond and Jean Jannon

rather than a single typeface. It became one of the most famous
typefaces when it was presented at the Paris World’s Fair in 1900
and was then followed up with plenty of variations. Garamond is
elegant, and the letters are very expressive and the series on each
letter are crafted in such a way that they perfectly define their own
personality, especially the ones on the capital “T”. As the serifs are
expressive enough they can be used in a playful context as
witnessed in the early Apple branding. If you want to have a
professional and a Logo with a flair personality, then this font can be
considered.

seriously and took it to an extreme and this resulted in the creation
of this dramatic font. It’s a perfect font for headlines, logos, and
decorative texts. As it has an aesthetic look and is resonated in big

avoiding perfect geometry”. This font has a wide range of weight,
widths, and positions and is considered to be one of the first typeface
styles to that represent the idea of a consistent font family. This

Adobe and Apple and became one of the major fonts of the

international fame. The typeface is simple and utilitarian, with quirky
touches for example- the rounded square tail of the “R”, the narrow “t”
and “f”. Consider this font for a reliable appearance that feels familiar
to new customers and seasoned design observers alike.
