Other typefaces such as American Garamond or Elegant Garamond are not, typically being based instead on the rather different typefaces of Jean Jannon[?]. Italic typefaces called "Garamond" are almost never based on Garamond's own italics; usually they are derived from typefaces by Robert Granjon[?], a younger colleague of Garamond. (The practice of pairing roman and italic typefaces was new in Garamond's time, and he does not appear to have done so himself.)
He also designed a coordinated series of italic typefaces. Though less influential, they also clearly belong to a typeface related to Garamond. They also have notably graceful forms.
