He was obsessed with creating a simple, elegant and clear typeface family. His work shows the beginning of the transition from old-style to modern design. Their ‘English Roman’ and ‘Caslon’ typefaces had slightly bracketed serifs and slight, old-style irregularities. They published the first English book of typefaces. He formed his own type foundry and was joined by his son. His Roman design (1726) became known as ‘Caslon’. William Caslon 1 designed ‘English Arabic’, Roman, Italic and Hebrew typefaces.
Christoffel Van Dyck refined Garamond’s designs. Leydon and Amsterdam became important publishing centres. Work from Garamond and others spread beyond France. Typeface design and printing innovation slowed in the 17th century. Their characteristics quickly became obsolete once Caslon’s typefaces were introduced. The Bishop of Oxford, Dr John Fell, gathered European print types and created typefaces called the Fell Types. Garamond was the first independent type founder and sold his type to printers.
Most modern Italics are based on the work of Garamond’s assistant, Granjon. His lower-case letters were based on the handwriting of King Francis 1’s librarian. Claude Garamond produced a very legible Roman serif typeface that was very influential. French style followed the Italians but was very arty and didn’t really progress further for 150 years. The popularity of Italics faded in the mid 16th century. The slanted letters took up less room thereby making printed books smaller and cheaper. Francesco Griffo’s ‘Aldino’ Italic typeface teamed uneven ascenders and descenders with small unslanted capitals. The first slanted Italic style resulted from popular demand. In Italy the Frenchman, Nicolas Jenson, designed open, elegant typefaces that influenced later design development. Inscriptional typefaces on Roman buildings inspired the introduction of contrasting thick and thin strokes, serifs and lower-case letters. Transitional typefaces were developed in Venice under humanist influences. Printing presses had spread throughout Europe by the late 15th century.
