 | | In Lyons, Robert Granjon sur-passed Claude Garamond with the notion of the italic and cut, between 1543 and 1590, close to 100 founts including roman, italic, Hebrew, arabesque and fleuron characters. |
 | | At Claude Garamonds death (1561), his types and matrices were broken up, many of which were acquired, notably, by Christophe Plantin, an Antwerp printer. |
 | | A part of the Garamond foundry was purchased by the printer Egenolff of Geneva: Sabon (Jan Tschichold, 1964) was inspired by a specimen from this printer (Jacques Sabon was the head of the studio). |
