But why couldn’t we just make a marketing campaign for Garamond? Perhaps a company could be convinced to co-finance the project.
Imagine Gap sponsoring the reintroduction of Garamond into the national culture. Says PR rep: “We think that Garamond really represents what the Gap brand means – classy, understated, and clean.”
