- Granjon is an old-style serif typeface designed by George W. Jones around 1924 for the British branch of the Linotype company, and based on the Garamond typeface that was used in a book printed by the Parisian Jean Poupy in 1592. The roman design was from Claude Garamond and the italic version was from Robert Granjon. Because several other Garamonds were on the market in the 1920s, Jones decided to name his type Granjon. Jones, a master printer based in London, had been engaged by Linotype to improve the quality of their typeface range through the development of revivals of notable type designs of the past. Granjon was popular in the metal type era and Beatrice Warde described it as her favourite revival of French renaissance typefaces in her famous 1926 article on the topic; it was also praised by former Linotype designer Walter Tracy. (Many of the Garamond revivals of the 1920s were later shown to be actually based on the types of Jean Jannon; Granjon was an exception to this. Warde commented "It would seem that Garamond's name, having so long been used on a design he never cut, is now by stern justice left off a face which is undoubtedly his.") Jones developed a companion bold named Bernhard, named for sixteenth-century engraver Bernard Salomon. A longtime popular text type, Granjon's digital version is sometimes criticized as being "anemic" in smaller point sizes. (en)
- Granjon is een antiqua schreeflettertype ontworpen voor Linotype door de Engelse drukker George W. Jones (1877-1962) in de periode 1928-1929. Het is gebaseerd op het lettertype Garamond dat werd gebruikt in een boek uit 1592 van de Parijse drukker Jean Poupy. Het ontwerp van de romein was van Claude Garamond en de cursief van Robert Granjon. Omdat er rond 1920 meerdere Garamond lettertypen op de markt verschenen besloot Jones deze variant Granjon te noemen. Vele herziene versies van Garamond van rond 1920 bleken bij nader inzien eigenlijk gebaseerd te zijn op lettertypen van Jean Jannon. Chauncey H. Griffith van het Amerikaanse Linotype leverde zijn bijdrage aan de ontwikkeling van dit lettertype met de uitbreiding met een 'vette' variant. Hoewel het langdurig zijn populariteit genoot, werd de gedigitaliseerde versie soms bekritiseerd als "suf" of "futloos" in kleinere puntgroottes. (nl)
