Adobe’s version is closer to the original version, and by my contemporary aesthetics, better. ITC Garamond gives me “advertisement for a Mac II with Color LaserWriter”. Very 1987.

- pointlessone 5y agoI don't know. Adobe looks closer to Apple Garamond than ITC. https://www.typewolf.com/apple-garamond https://www.typewolf.com/apple-garamond
- perardi 5y agoApple Garamond was an optically compressed version of ITC Garamond. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography_of_Apple_Inc.#Apple_Garamond https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typography_of_Apple_Inc.#Apple... You can really see it in the x-height.
