Was there more to Garamont and Granjon’s redesign of italic type than making them harmonize with their roman types? I’m trying to understand if their shift away from the more calligraphic types of Griffo, Arrighi, and Colines was related to some changes in French hands or if they were just being practical.

Hendrik Vervliet's "Palaeotypography of the French Renaissance" covers this ground admirably.
