English Monotype’s version of Garamond was designed in-house in 1922
after Jannon (roman, series 156) and Granjon (italic, series
174).* Extended with series 201 in Bold (1925) and
Bold Italic (1931) [Gill 2020] [Reichardt 2011].
*) “[…] Stanley Morison
wrote in his memoir that the italic was based on Granjon’s work,

based on the work of Granjon.” [Wikipedia]
Not to be confused with Frederic W. Goudy’s Garamont for (American) Monotype (1923,
series 248).
Letraset’s Garamond (1968) is an adaptation of
a larger size of series 156. By 1976, an italic with many swash
alternates and ligatures was added in the Letragraphica range,
likewise based on
