The design of the Sabon fonts can be seen as a variation of the Garamond fonts, with an emphasis on clearer typeface and thus better legibility. It is a French Renaissance Antiqua .
The Sabon- font family includes the "classic" four typefaces : Sabon novel, Sabon Italic, Bold and Sabon Sabon Bold Italic.
In 2002 the French type designer Jean-François Porchez completed work on a reinterpretation of the original Sabon for Linotype . The new font family was published as Sabon Next and includes significantly more fonts than the first edition of Sabon: the Sabon Next family has a total of six font weights each (Sabon Next Display, Roman, Demi, Bold, Extra Bold and Black). There are corresponding italics for each of these . Finally, there is an ornament font style with various flower characters. There are also associated small caps and old-style numerals styles.
