	Caxtonian: March 2001
		For those familiar with Zapf's accomplishments in calligraphy, type design, book design, teaching, and advancing the highest standards of craft, professional skill and civility, this is a well-deserved and long-overdue honor.
		Zapf has written books on typography, calligraphy and book design, many published in German and English, including an early classic Feder und Stichel (Pen and Graver), and later works such as Manuale Typographicum and Typographic Variations, the latter designed by Zapf on themes of contemporary book design and typography.
		The possibilities Hermann Zapf champions in his seamless "triple discipline," promote enviable standards for those of us who toil in any one of the three, and demonstrate again and again the influence of written languages rendered with profound gestalt in endless variation.

		Zapf Book font is a blend of the characteristics of Walbaum, Melior and the contrasting weights of Bodoni.
		It is a typical Zapf font, distinction without eccentricity and superb sensitivity and letterfit, and clearly demonstrates his concern that an alphabet work not just as a collection of single letters, but also have a sense of unity in itself.
		Zapf Renaissance Antiqua is a new interpretation of the Palatino family (originally designed by Hermann Zapf for the D. Stempel AG in Frankfurt and for Linotype, from 1948 onward).

		In addition to his writings on computer science, Knuth is also the author of 3:16 Bible Texts Illuminated (1991), ISBN 0895792524, in which he attempts to examine the Bible by a process of stratified random sampling, namely an analysis of chapter 3, verse 16 of each book.
		Each verse is accompanied by a rendering in calligraphic art, contributed by a group of calligraphers under the leadership of Hermann Zapf.
		Knuth published his first "scientific" article in a school magazine in 1957 under the title "Potrzebie System of Weights and Measures." In it, he defined the fundamental unit of length as the thickness of MAD magazine #26, and named the fundamental unit of force "whatmeworry".

		Second, the casual style of Freehand and the formal style of Zapf Elliptical clash badly.

		Again, examples of earlier art shows both the Zapf and Slimbach designs to be modeled on these earlier efforts.
		Slimbach's design is an "obvious" reflection of Zapf's 1974 effort - and both in turn seem to be little more than direct adaptations of the many typefaces that have been done in the past reflecting the chancery cursive style.
		She did find Zapf's 1974 Medici Script, but missed Zapf's 1979 Zapf Chancery design which is almost identical to Slimbach's later effort.

		I don't know how to reach URW; Bringhurst notes that they entered receivership in 1995, and that their type library is now distributed by a corporate entity known as URW++.
		Bringhurst notes that HZ applies hyphenation and justification algorithms to an entire paragraph instead of to single lines, and points that HZ is not the first program to do so.
		it's the variant lettershapes that are a major contribution from zapf, and i believe the other tactics were invented jointly by zapf and karow.
