Think of
Garamouche as Garamond's drunken cousin. This font replicates a long lost document ravaged by time and the elements (with a little sloppy printing for good measure). Unlike the fake bolding option found in software programs,
Garamouche Bold is a variant with more appropriate thick and thin features. The "dancing along the baseline" that has made
Garamouche a favorite, is also a feature in
Garamouche Bold, but the letters align and tilt in on their own terms. Using the two
Garamouche fonts together can produce much more expressive results than just hitting "bold." P22
Garamouche Ornaments is a set of 72 ornamental embellishments designed to complement the
Garamouche fonts but can be used with almost any layout that calls for historical decoration.
