Hermann Zapf designed Palatino in 1948 for the Linotype Foundry. This old-style serif typeface, Zapfs first popular typeface, was based on his own elegant calligraphy. In 1984 Palatino was one of the typefaces originally included by Apple Computer in the Macintosh. In the early days of desktop publishing it gained great popularity until it began to be replaced by Times Roman. Zapf revised Palatino for Linotype and Microsoft in 1999, called Palatino Linotype. The revised family incorporated extended Latin, Greek, and Cyrillic character sets.

HERMAN ZAPF

Born in Nuremberg during turbulent times, Herman Zapf experimented with type from an early age. As a boy, Zapf invented ciphertext alphabets to exchange secret messages with his brother. His teachers noticed Zapfs skill in drawing and suggested that he become a lithographer. In 1935, Zapf attended an exhibition in Nuremberg in honor of the late typographer Rudolf Koch. This exhibition ignited his interest in lettering. Zapf bought two books there, using them to teach himself calligraphy. He also studied examples of calligraphy in the Nuremberg city library. Following World War II, Zapf taught calligraphy in Nuremburg and worked as artistic head of a printshop. He moved on to work for multiple publishing houses as a book designer, and created typefaces for numerous stages of printing technology including hot metal composition, phototypesetting, and digital typography.
