Garamond Macron Italics by Paul Kennett Font

Garamond Macron Italics, designed by Paul Kennett for Miles Inc., is a free high-contrast italic serif with the poised sweep of a traditional book face. Its narrow letters rise sharply from long, flowing curves.

As an elegant editorial voice, it gives magazine mastheads and book covers a distinctly literary air. The pronounced slant and fine hairlines also suit formal invitations and luxury packaging with a sense of ceremony. Those extended curves can echo ribbon, engraving, or ornamental borders, making the lettering part of the decoration in fashion and event work.
