EB Garamond Font

This community revival takes its Egenolff-Berner name from a 1592 specimen showing Garamont roman and Granjon italic types. Georg Duffner’s work and Octavio Pardo’s fork are part of the digital project’s development.

The Google Fonts catalog credits Georg Duffner, Octavio Pardo. Read the official project description for the source account. The catalog lists this family as added on 2011-03-23; that is a directory date, not proof of when the design was first created.

The reviewed catalog lists 10 listed styles for EB Garamond, with weight values 400, 500, 600, 700, 800. Italic styles are included in that listing. The catalog also lists variable axes wght. This preview selects named styles; it does not expose every variable-axis setting.

Listed script subsets are cyrillic, cyrillic-ext, greek, greek-ext, latin, latin-ext, vietnamese. Subset names describe catalog coverage, not a guarantee that every language or specialist character is supported. Enter the exact names, punctuation, or script you need and check the result in your final application.

Try a book-style paragraph with an italic quotation. Compare line length and leading before selecting it for a sustained reading layout.

For a related comparison, inspect Cormorant Garamond and Bitter. These are same-category candidates for comparison, not an assertion that their spacing or design is interchangeable. Use the same sample phrase and output size so the comparison tests the layout rather than different words.

The verified repository includes EB Garamond under SIL Open Font License 1.1. Use the official Google Fonts page to obtain the family and read the included license for the specific distribution. This site does not claim that a font with a similar name or a third-party download has the same license.

The specimen can copy a stylesheet request and CSS declaration for web use, or export a PNG of your sample. Ordinary clipboard text does not preserve a font family. For a clear comparison with decorative characters, read Unicode text versus real fonts. Install the font in the app that creates your final layout when you need editable text with these letterforms.
