The basic roman alphabet with 3 additional script variations is now complemented with small caps, mathematical symbols, additional ligatures, fractional numbers and with hyper-flourishes. Theses are some extremely big swashes running over two or three text lines.

Zapfino is based on a calligraphic example by Hermann Zapf for a sketch book written in 1944 using a Sommerville pen and watercolors. A page from the book is reproduced above in its original size. Different capitals are mixed within this text, which established Zapfino’s key design feature: the marriage of very narrow lower-case letters with relatively wide [...]
Highlighting with Zapfino™ forte will give special words, such as company names or brand names, extra attention and power. This bold version, which is part of Linotype Zapfino™ Extra, could also be used for short sentences within ordinary textlines to give a message additional prominence.

About Zapfino® Extra Ligatures ...
Designer: Hermann Zapf, 2003
Zapfino® Extra Ligatures belongs to the Zapfino® Extra Font Family which is part of the Linotype Originals.
Zapfino™ Extra is an OpenType format typeface available in two versions. The Contextual version contains a treasure-trove of extra contextual features. When created in 2004, this was the most advanced OpenType font released to date. By purchasing the Contextual version, users of OpenType-supporting applications, such as Adobe InDesign, may access all of the features available in the entire Zapfino family through just two fonts, Zapfino Extra LT Pro (Contextual), and Zapfino Forte LT Pro! Unfortunately, most non-Adobe applications currently do not support the contextual features made possible by recent OpenType developments. Users of Quark XPress and Microsoft Office should instead purchase all of the non-contextual fonts of Zapfino Extra Pro family, in order to access all of the Zapfino family's 1676 glyphs.
The Zapfino family's character set supports 48 western and central European languages.
More Zapfino History:
Today's digital font technology allowed the world-renowned typeface designer/calligrapher Hermann Zapf to finally realize a vision he first had more than fifty years ago: creating a typeface that could capture 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, Herman Zapf completely reworked the Zapfino design, creating Zapfino™ Extra. This large expansion of the Zapfino family was designed in close collaboration with Akira Kobayashi. Zapfino™ Extra includes a cornucopia of new characters. It features exuberant hyper-flourishes, elegant small caps, dozens of ornaments, more alternates and ligatures, index characters, and a very useful bold version-named Zapfino™ Forte. 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!
