█ (RELEASE NOTES) ██ █
█ ▓▓ ██ █
█ ██ Renard was designed in 1992 by Fred Smeijers, the renowned ██ █
█ ██ Dutch typographer and designer of various typefaces like ██ █
█ ██ FF Quadraat. Renard is an interpretation of a 2-line Double ██ █
█ ██ Pica Roman (Gros Canon) cut by the Flemisch punchcutter ██ █
█ ██ Hendrik van den Keere around 1570, and shown in Plantin's ██ █
█ ██ folio specimen of c.1585. Van den Keere's typeface was cut ██ █
█ ██ in a large size for display setting: for use in choirbooks ██ █
█ ██ for example. Such a book would be placed in front of the ██ █
█ ██ choir, so it had to be legible for all the singers in poor ██ █
█ ██ lighting conditions. To achieve legibility the typeface is ██ █
█ ██ rather condensed, with a large x-height and dark overall ██ █
█ ██ colour. Van den Keere never cut a complete italic, so Renard's ██ █
█ ██ italic is a new design, made in the spirit of the period. ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ Fred Smeijers writes about his design: "Renard belongs to the ██ █
█ ██ broad category of Garamonds but occupies a unique place among ██ █
█ ██ them. The roman descends - unlike some other Garamonds - from ██ █
█ ██ a clearly traceable historical origin. In other words: it's ██ █
█ ██ from a good pedigree with decent papers. Next to that it's the ██ █
█ ██ only Garamond which can rightfully claim to be 'Flemish'. Not ██ █
█ ██ only because of its roots, but certainly due to its almost ██ █
█ ██ Breughelian features. Which is something that's lacking not ██ █
█ ██ only in competitive revivals, but in any other Garamond." ██ █
█ ██ ██ █
█ ██ In a departure from contemporary thinking about type families, ██ █
█ ██ Renard is limited in its range of style variants. There is no ██ █
█ ██ 'bold'. Instead, there are two lighter weights: Renard No2 and ██ █
█ ██ Renard No3. Renard No2 is intended to complement Renard No1 for ██ █
█ ██ use in headings. Renard No3 can serve as a definite 'light' ██ █
█ ██ variant with Renard No1. All variants have small capitals, old ██ █
█ ██ style figures, related italics and various ligatures. ██ █
