EB Garamond is Georg Duffner's open revival of Claude Garamond's sixteenth-century types — the definitive old-style serif, with the low x-height, angled stress, and graceful proportions that have set books for nearly five centuries.
Garamond brings instant classical authority, so pair it where that register belongs: as a body face under a refined heading for literary and academic material, or as elegant headings over a restrained body. Keep sizes generous — old-style faces run small on screens.
In the Nodlume catalog, EB Garamond leads the heading in 2 of these 3 pairings and the body in 1 — its partners are Bitter, Great Vibes and Helvetica Neue. Every combination below previews in the real faces, with the full fallback-safe CSS font stacks.
