Pavane is a Garamond-style typeface which, like Sarabande, is based on Jean Jannon's 'caractères de l'université' of 1621. However, while Sarabande reproduces the original faithfully, Pavane has been adapted to modern text use, especially in book setting. Thus, the x-height has been increased somewhat. Still, the ascenders and descenders are more in keeping with the French Renaissance look than in most modern so-called Garamond faces. For those discerning typographers who want to use classical ligatures, there is the companion Pavane Special ligature typeface, with the traditional f-ligatures in regular and italic style, and also the c-t and s-t combinations. The Pavane Alternative font has the usual small caps and upper-case numerals.
