︎Jan︎ is a type family designed digitally for exclusive use by ︎Doma Books︎ It consists of two styles —upright and italic— and features Greek monotonic and polytonic character sets as well as small capitals, in order to serve every typesetting need. *Jan* also features an extensive Latin character set as well as all the necessary figure styles, a full set of punctuation marks, symbols, arrows and some typographic ornaments.

Claude Garamond’s name is firmly associated with France’s rise to leadership in type casting in the sixteenth century. Jan’s upright Latin drawings are based on the French engraver’s famous typeface models, while the italics are based on types designed by his contemporary Robert Granjon. The Greek character set, however, is not based on Garamond’s infamous Grecs du roi, but rather are modern designs, loosely inspired by classic models of Greek typography: the upright from *Elsevier* and the italic from *Leipzig* ¶ The name *Jan* is a tribute to Jan Tschichold, the German typographer who played a fundamental role in the development of modern graphic design in the 20th century and, in the 1960s, designed *Sabon* —a revival of Garamond— which was used by ︎Doma Books︎ before Jan was created.
