EB Garamond
Usage
As a cousin to the Garamond 3 LT used in our wordmark, EB Garamond is a clean and distinguished serif font that hews closely to the Duke legacy brand. It is flexible enough to be used in headlines, subheads and body text, but exercise discretion when using it at smaller font sizes. Do not use EB Garamond to recreate the Duke wordmark — instead, always use an official logo file.
Features
EB Garamond is available in 5 weights: Regular (400), Medium (500), Semi-Bold (600), Bold (700), Extra-bold (800). Each weight has an accompanying italic style.

Sample Pairings and Styles
EB Garamond + Open Sans
The spectacle before us was indeed sublime.
Apparently, we had reached a great height in the atmosphere, for the sky was a dead black, and the stars had ceased to twinkle. By the same illusion which lifts the horizon of the sea to the level of the spectator on a hillside, the sable cloud beneath was dished out, and the car seemed to float in the middle of an immense dark sphere, whose upper half was strewn with silver. Looking down into the dark gulf below, I could see a ruddy light streaming through a rift in the clouds.
