This font is inspired by some of the largest caps Zapf drew and is in celebration of his life, for his 6 year memorial June 4, 2021.
While this font is too fine for letterpress printing, it works great for laser and offset, giving a handlettered look to the paper. Shown here with Arno Pro Italic.
These iconic caps add feelings of importance and timelessness to books, magazines, blogs, websites, and videos.
Design Features
These capitals were meticulously kerned, including the numbers and the punctuation.
The symbols have been drawn to show the inkiness. When you print them on the page, I kid you not, people will think you went with letterpress.
Zapf’s original Z was wide, so I designed one that works better with the other letters. However, we have made this form available. The Y also has the Greek upsilon form.
In Use
These caps work great for timeless, classic, or beautiful quotes, for blogs, movies, or posters.
Covers of cookbooks, brochures, programs, religious or sacred works, or events.
The elegant letters work well as monograms, either overlapping or touching.
