Illuminating Letters by Allan Haley

Welcome to Illuminating Letters - a series of newsletters about the most significant and enduring typeface families.

Issue 1: Garamond typefaces, in both their American and European flavours, are generally considered ideal book faces. The design is also an excellent choice for most other forms of continuous text. Magazines, newsletters, annual reports, lengthy advertising copy – for example – are all naturals for the Garamond design. Elegance, warmth, readability and legibility are guaranteed.

Also available as a print-friendly PDF
