Adobe Garamond Pro was created by Adobe type designer Robert Slimbach in 1989 based on the beauty and balance of the original Garamond typefaces. It offers all the advantages of a contemporary digital type family. It's a digital interpretation of the roman types by Claude Garamond and the italic types of Robert Granjon.

Adobe Garamond Pro was designed by Robert Slimbach in 1989. It was based on the 16th-century typeface Garamond, with Slimbach's goal being to create a contemporary interpretation that maintained the historical characteristics of the original design while also improving legibility and versatility. The design process involved meticulous attention to detail, including refining each letterform and adjusting spacing and proportions for a balanced and readable typeface.

When you bought text-size type in the really old days, you got a rack of molds called "matrices" and cast your own type blocks--type was made from lead and wore out quickly, so to protect your investment you'd make type as you needed it. Matrices were made by people called punch cutters. One of the more prolific punch cutters was a Frenchman named Claude Garamond (at one time he spelled it Garamont). He sold matrices to printers, but he wasn't a printer himself...until he got stupid and went into the printing business. All his customers were printers; now he's competing against them, and they told him what they thought of that idea by halting their purchases of Garamond matrices. End result: Claude Garamond died broke and drunk and is buried in a pauper's grave. Okay, back to the original discussion...the world possesses one set of matrices made by Claude Garamond. It is in the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp, Belgium. Adobe Garamond's genesis is rubbings from that set of matrices.
