Galliard (typeface)
Galliard is the name of a serif typeface designed by Matthew Carter and issued in 1978 by the Mergenthaler Linotype Company. Galliard is based on the sixteenth-century type of Robert Granjon. According to Alexander Lawson, "The name Galliard stems from Granjon's own term for an 8-point font he cut about 1570. It undoubtedly refers to the style of the face, for the galliard was a lively dance of the period."〔Lawson, Alexander, ''Anatomy of a Typeface'', Godine, 1990.〕
Mike Parker, Director of Typographic Development at Mergenthaler Linotype, had been inspired by seeing the types of Granjon at the Plantin-Moretus Museum in Antwerp.〔Bigelow, Charles, ''Galliard'' in ''Fine Print on Type'', Charles Bigelow, editor, 1989.〕〔Lawson, Alexander, ''Anatomy of a Typeface'', Godine, 1990.〕 Matthew Carter, who joined Mergenthaler Linotype as a typeface designer in 1965, was also an admirer.〔http://www.itcfonts.com/Fonts/Classics/Galliard.htm〕 Work continued on the typeface, sporadically, through the 1960s and 1970s. The typeface was released in 1978.
==ITC Galliard (1978, 1982)==
It is a version re-issued by International Typeface Corporation after Mike Parker had given ITC exclusive rights to Galliard. Matthew Carter drew the four roman weights and complementary italic designs while at Mergenthaler Linotype, and a suite of small caps for the Roman and Bold weights. ITC Galliard was introduced by Mergenthaler Linotype Company in 1978, with public availability for ITC subscribers beginning on 1982-01-15 (as announced in December 1981 (volume 8-4) issue of U&lc magazine).〔(U&lc. VOLUME EIGHT, NUMBER FOUR, DEC. 1981 ), pages 28-33〕
The family includes 8 fonts in 4 weights and 1 width, with complementary italics. OpenType features include fractions, ligatures, ordinals, superscript.
