[P2]:1

Garamond was designed by Claude Garamond in the 16th century. It is considered to be a typeface that is formal, classic and highly legible. It was created for use in the book Paraphrasis in Elegantiarum Libros Laurentii Vallae. The only complete set of the original is in a museum in Belgium. Garamond has underwent some changes as time moved on, but many of its characteristics remain the same.




Serifa was designed by Adrian Frutiger in 1964. It is considered to be a typeface that is bold geometric and identifiable. It is considered a slab serif font because of its thick serifs. It was originally based on Univers, but took on its own personality. It is a very good font for commanding space and emphasis. 




Platelet was designed by students in 1992. It is considered to be a typeface that is futuristic, quirky and strong. It was inspried by the font used on licence plates. It initally only conatined  only lower case letters, but that was later changed so it could be more widely used.
