TWT Pavane is a Garamond-style serif typeface based (like Sarabande) on Jean Jannon's Caractères de l'université of 1621. But while Sarabande reproduces the original faithfully, TWT Pavane has been adapted to more modern usesuch as a somewhat increased x-height. Still, the ascenders and descenders remain more in keeping with the French Renaissance look than in most modern (so-called) Garamonds. TWT Pavane has two styles: a roman and a true italic. US$49.
