Typography and Fonts for Print

The primary typeface for print is Adobe Garamond Regular.

It should be used for main text and for titles that appear separate from text, such as on the cover of a brochure.

It should also be used for initial drop caps where appropriate.

The secondary typefaces complement Adobe Garamond Regular and add interest and contrast to print layout.
