"URW Garamond No. 8" is a digitization of the old Compugraphic rip-off font "Garamond Antiqua", later also called "CG Garamond Antiqua" and much later sold as "CG Garamond" by Monotype and also supplied by HP with its Laserjet printers.

I am overwhelmed...

Never heard of it. Can you show a sample?
Some text and a large lc "a" would be good.

It's a version of Stempel Garamond, apparently.

Looks decent. At least it's not a Jannon. But the
"f" is crippled, and the spacing could be better.
