About
Lagunita is a variable Garamond for screens, built from EB Garamond by Georg Duffner and Octavio Pardo. Its outlines are EB Garamond’s, reshaped by a program: a taller lowercase, flared stems, a taller t, and flat cuts at the ends of the a, c, f and r.
One optical-size axis runs from a sturdy Text cut for reading to a sharper Display cut for headlines, in weights from Light to ExtraBold, roman and italic. Like EB Garamond, it is free under the SIL Open Font License.
