Description:

Robert Granjon (1513 - 1589) produced his Parangonne Greque typeface
(garmond size) at the instigation of Christophe Plantin as a
counterpart to Garamond's Grec du roi, in Antwerp Holland, between
1560 - 1565. It was used in Plantin's multilingual Bible of
1572. Versions of Granjon's type were used for the 1692 edition of
Diogenes Laertius and for the Greek-Dutch edition of the New Testament
in 1698, both published by Henric Wetstenium in Amsterdam. A digital
revival was prepared by Ralph P. Hancock for his Vusillus font in
1999. Latin and Cyrillic are based on a Goudy typeface. The font
covers the Windows Glyph List, Greek Extended, various typographic
extras and some Open Type features (Numerators, Denominators,
Fractions, Old Style Figures, Historical Forms, Stylistic Alternates,
Ligatures).
