Zapfino Extra

Information

With its delicate swashes, it is hard to imagine that Zapfino revolutionized the world of digital typesetting. This typeface realised Hermann’s dream to recreate handwriting on the computer. The basic Zapfino font family, released in 1998, consists of four alphabets with many additional stylistic alternates that allows to emulate the variations in handwritten text. In collaboration with Akira Kobayashi, Hermann completed Zapfino Extra, a large expansion of the Zapfino family with plenty 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.
