About Zapfino™ Extra Family CD for Mac OS and Windows ...

Designer: Hermann Zapf, 2003
Today's digital font technology has allowed renowned font designer and calligrapher Hermann Zapf to realize a dream he first had more than fifty years ago: to create a typeface that would come very close to the freedom and liveliness of beautiful handwriting. The basic Zapfino™ font family, released in 1998, consists of four alphabets with many additional stylistic alternates that can be freely mixed together to emulate the variations in handwritten text. In 2003, Zapf completed Zapfino™ Extra, a large expansion of the Zapfino family. Designed in collaboration with Akira Kobayashi, Zapfino™ Extra has a cornucopia of new characters. It includes exuberant hyper-flourishes, elegant small caps, dozens of ornaments, more alternates and ligatures, index characters, and a very useful " forte" (bold) version. Use Zapfino to produce unusual and graceful advertisements, packaging, and invitations. Zapfino Extra is so joyously abundant that it's tempting to over-indulge, so be sure to check out the tips for working well with the possibilities.
This CD contains OpenType fonts.
And tips on using the "Zapfino Extra" and "Forte" typeface versions more effectively,
a 16-minute background Quicktime movie, "The Art of Hermann Zapf", made in 1967,
Hermann Zapf's life history
and various small typographic animated films incorporating Zapf’s fonts.
