The important contemporary calligraphers in the West are writers Baker and hermann zapp. As calligraphy becomes less and less common in communication, western calligraphy is gradually seen only in special occasions and activities, and most of it is used in wedding invitations and notices. Hermann zapp Fu (1918165438+1October 8th-) is a prolific German font designer. Chappf was born in Nuremberg, Germany, and later married Goudron Zapf von Hasse, a calligrapher and font designer. Zapf's design was praised by people, but it was destroyed. His designs, such as Palatino and Optima, may be the most popular, but they are also the most imitated. (It is well known that the font Antiqua attached to Microsoft software is copied from Palatino. The fonts designed by Herman Zapf are: Aldus, AMS Euler, Aurelia, Edison, Kompakt, Marconi, Medici Script, Melior, Michelangelo, Optima, Palatino, Saphir, Variety, ITC Zapf Book, ITC Zapf International, Sistina, ITC Zapf Chancery, ITC Zapf Dingbats, Zapf Renaissance Antiqua and Zapfino.
