Aragon

R

e-introducing the classic mid-1500s Garamond forms for the twenty-first century is never an easy task. But Hans van Maanen makes a fine attempt at just that by remodelling the traditional shapes through a modern lens with stunning results.

Aragon is a workhorse family that performs very well in a variety of text sizes, from footnotes and legal copy to lengthy body sets. Its combination of wedge serifs with uniquely tapered stems offer a sturdy Dutch touch that improves legibility altogether, while at the same time the slight stress shift to the top half of the characters makes the immersive reading experience very open and comfortable.

The Aragon family comes in a standard two-weight set with corresponding italics, a roman small caps font with its own italics, three condensed variants, and a very attractive set of initials. All fonts come with an extended glyph repertoire that covers the majority of Latin languages.
