A NOTE ABOUT THE TYPE
The body of
Remember the Time
has been set in Adobe Garamond. Designed for the Adobe Corporation by Robert Slimbach, the fonts are based on types first cut by Claude Garamond (c.1480–1561). Garamond was a pupil of Geoffrey Tory and is believed to have followed classic Venetian type models, although he did introduce a number of important differences, and it is to him that we owe the letterforms we now know as “old style.” Garamond gave his characters a sense of movement and elegance that ultimately won him an international reputation and the patronage of Frances I of France.
