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.
