The Zapfs turn 90! Celebrate with Us

Remember the first time you saw Optima®, Diotima®, or Zapfino®? Which famed design do you like best or use the most? Do you have a personal birthday wish for Gudrun or Hermann Zapf? We have two options to share your personal messages with these living legends of type design!


Digital Upload
We welcome messages and images uploaded here which will both be viewable to our guests online and will also be printed and delivered for their birthday gathering. The greetings can be anything from simple messages to photos to a letter in your own calligraphy.


Via Mail
We are also calling for your messages in the form of printed pieces. The requirements are simply that we ask for 2 printed copies and each should measure 20 x 20cm.

Your prints will be personally presented to Gudrun and Hermann Zapf during their birthday celebration.

The second copy will be displayed in a special exhibition in New York City in cooperation with the TDC!

All printed pieces need to be received by October 31, 2008.

Please mail 2 copies of your design to:

Linotype GmbH
Nadine Chahine
Werner-Reimers-Straße 2–4
61352 Bad Homburg
