Garamond cut more roman types than italics, which at the time were conceived separately to roman types rather than designed alongside them as complementary matches. Garamond was one of the early printers to establish the modern tradition that the italic capitals should slope as the lower case does, rather than remain upright as Roman square capitals do. However, his italics were apparently not as used as widely as Granjon's. For example, on the 1592 Berner specimen, most of the romans were by Garamond but at least all but one, and probably all, of the italics are Granjon's. Similarly in the 1643 "Imprimerie royale" specimen, most of the italics are Granjon's.
