A part of the Egenolff–Berner specimen printed in 1592 showing the original cuts by Garamont and Granjon (the second type, mislabelled as "Petit Canon de Garamond")[1]

EB Garamond is a free and open source implementation of Claude Garamond’s typeface, Garamond, and the matching Italic, Greek and Cyrillic characters designed by Robert Granjon. Its name is a shortening of Egenolff–Berner Garamond which refers to the fact that the letter forms are taken from the Egenolff–Berner specimen printed in 1592.
