Garava is an appealing and versatile typeface that has garnered attention within the graphic design community. Its creation is attributed to a clear intention to provide a readable, elegant font that bridges traditional and modern aesthetics. One of the notable characteristics of Garava is its clean lines and gracefully balanced proportions, allowing it to stand out for both text and display use.
The design of Garava leans towards a serif style, featuring small, refined serifs that lend it a classic feel, yet its overall structure and the simplicity of form bring a contemporary edge. This harmonious blend makes it remarkably adaptive – suitable for a vast array of applications, from the body text in books and magazines to headlines and branding materials. Its legibility at varying sizes also contributes to its versatility.
One aspect of Garava that deserves particular mention is its elegant and sophisticated aura. Each letterform is crafted with attention to detail, ensuring that the flow of writing is smooth and visually pleasing. The font’s character set is comprehensive, supporting multiple languages and including an array of glyphs that enable diverse typographical layouts. This combination of practicality and beauty makes Garava an excellent choice for designers seeking to convey a sense of refinement and distinction through their work.
In summary, Garava emerges as a typeface that beautifully reconciles classic charm with modern demands. Its readability, aesthetic appeal, and adaptability make it a go-to choice for a wide spectrum of design projects. Whether for print or digital media, Garava promises to imbue text with a touch of elegance and professionalism, making it a valuable asset in the arsenal of fonts available to contemporary designers.

And I see some »famous« designs in your portfolio. Bauhaus, Ondine, Kabel, … In which way are these legal?


The copyright on the designs has expired.

See One Thousand Linotype Public Domain Fonts

Note that copyright on the Trueytpe font files lasts for much longer.

This is not a free license to modify copyright data in a font and replace it with your own, which is an illegal practice. You must make the fonts from scratch, and the design must be more than 25 years old.


@Bhikkhu Pesala: ... the design must be more than 25 years old.

... In Germany ... Were the typefaces designed by a Dutch designer the copyright - without the need for registration and/or trademarking - will last until 50 years after the death of the designer.

So be careful with making your own digital versions of those typefaces 'bought' by Linotype from the former Lettergieterij Amsterdam.

© Association for Insight Meditation. Garava:Version 2.30. Garava. Version 2.30 January 17, 2009. Association for Insight Meditation. Bhikkhu Pesala. Garava was designed for body text in Buddhist Publications. It has a generous x-height and economical copy-fit. "Garava" is a Pali word meaning "reverence." Garava version 2.0 includes the following OpenType features: Small Capitals, Ligatures, Alternative Fractions (Nut Fractions), Superscripts, Scientific Inferiors (Subscripts), and Old Style Figures. A full range of Latin characters means it can be used for Pali, Sanskrit, Romanised Indic scripts, nearly all European languages, and Vietnamese. A full Greek and Coptic character set, and a wide range of symbols extend its usefulness to other academic fields such as maths and science. Maths and currency symbols are designed on the figure width, while other symbols, arrows, and geometric shapes are a uniform width and align with the Caps height wherever the design permits. Superscripts align with the tops of figures, while subscripts bisect the baseline. Besides regular, italic, bold, and bold italic styles, the Garava font family includes Small Capitals, Bold Small Capitals, and Heavy Typefaces. Petite Capitals, Old Style Figures, and Nut Fractions are included in the Private Use Area. These features can be applied automatically in OpenType aware applications - otherwise they can be selected from the Private Use Area using the application's character map.
