Maybe Garamond, but which one?

Hey

I think it's a Garamond, but if that's the case, I don't know which one exactly.

Thanks!

Maybe Garamond, but which one?

This is not this one, look at the Q & "OE". Thanks.

I think it is this one. If that's the case, it's not available.

URW Garamond has the overlapping OE - if it's not the exact same font, it's pretty close
Suggested font: URW Garamond

But no matching Q. Also the Garamont maxime suggested is not a match for the Q in the sample image.
Where does that sample image come from? And why a specimen sheet photographed under such an angle?

This picture comes from the official french website of Garamond: http://www.garamond.culture.fr/

Interesting but very slow site

There is a wider version of the OP's image at http://www.garamond.culture.fr/img/home/intro/en/03_PH.jpg, which shows a different /Q/ on the 3rd line up. My earlier URW suggestion is still wrong, but maybe it will help everyone to know that the image shows different versions of Garamond and that it isn't necessary to match the overlapping /Œ/ with the thick-tailed /Q/.

Eso sucede por que la versión de la imagen es hecha a mano, Con pluma, a la vieja escuela en las cuales se juntaban letras para traducciones de escritos ingleses y pronunciación o algo por el estilo ley en un antigo libro de tipografias eo hechas con plumas (Speed ball) y/o pinceles de acero; en verdad no creo que pueda consguir ese preciso estilo de font, por lo menos no de uso común.

Garamont Display

I really like this font, but the "W" is not the same, but the Q though is really similar. I sent an e-mail to Matthieu Cortat who made some articles on the website, and the font "Henry" based on the Garamond of Deberny & Peignot.

Edit: He answered very quickly, and I think it's indeed his font "Henry" which has been used. I let you confirm guys.

"Bonsoir,

Je suis à peu près sûr qu’il s’agit du Garamond Deberny & Peignot. Je le connais bien, j’en ai dessiné une version numérique: http://www.nonpareille.net/page/henry-np

Bonne soirée,

Cordialement."

Maxime - the Q is wrong so is that R... and I haven't even started comparing the rest....

Also nice maxime and thanks for the info ... but no match ... alas. Maybe the ones who made that slow website know where they got the image from. I doubt that though.

The LTC Garamont fonatica suggested I looked at ages ago. But the same, no match for the Q, alas.
