Remembering Hermann Zapf
06/18/2015
One week ago, the great calligrapher and type designer Hermann Zapf died. In 1960, he visited the United States, staying with his close friend Toni Dehn in Berea, Ohio. Upon returning home, he created this special private record of his visit, complete with home photos and beautiful hand-lettering, and mailed it to Toni Dehn. In the 1980s, she gifted it to her distant relative Antonio and it now resides in the Studio A library filed under Z. Stop by, take a look, and remember his kindness and incredible talent.
