Hermann Zapf (born in Nuremberg, Germany on November 8, 1918) is a prolific German typeface designer. He is married to calligrapher and typeface designer Gudrun Zapf-von Hesse. Zapf's work has suffered the two-edged sword of veneration, as his designs, which include ''Palatino'' and ''Optima,'' have been perhaps the most widely admired – and widely-pirated – of any. (The well-known ''Book Antiqua'' shipped with Microsoft programs is a "knockoff" of ''Palatino.)'' Some of Hermann Zapf's typefaces include: ''Aldus (typeface), AMS Euler, Aurelia (typeface), Edison (typeface), Kompakt, Marconi (typeface), Medici Script, Melior (typeface), Michelangelo (typeface), Optima, Palatino, Saphir (typeface), Vario (typeface), ITC Zapf Book, ITC Zapf International, Sistina (typeface), ITC Zapf Chancery, ITC Zapf Dingbats, Zapf Renaissance Antiqua,'' and ''Zapfino.'' == External links == * http://www.hermannzapf.de * [http://www.linotype.com/freedownload/howtouse/ZapfBiography.pdf Zapf's auto-biography] ==Related articles== *Calligraphy *Typography Typographers 1918 births
