Hermann Zapf pronounced “tsáff†born November 8 1918 was a German typeface designer who lived in Darmstadt Germany and was married to calligrapher and typeface designer Gudrun Zapf von Hesse.Zapf’s work which includes Palatino 1948 named after 16th century Italian writing master Giambattista Palatino and Optima 1952 a flared sans-serif released by Stempel in 1958. Zapf disliked its name which was invented by Stempel’s marketers has been widely copied often against his will. The best known example may be Monotype’s Book Antiqua which shipped with Microsoft Office and was widely considered a “knockoff†of Palatino. In 1993 Zapf resigned from ATypI Association Typographique Internationale over what he viewed as its hypocritical attitude toward unauthorized copying by prominent ATypI members.In 1935 Zapf attended an exhibition in Nuremberg in honor of the late typographer Rudolf Koch. This exhibition gave him his first 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. In 1938 Zapf designed his first printed typeface for D. Stempel AG and Linotype GmbH of Frankfurt a fraktur type called Gilgengart.In 1976 the Rochester Institute of Technology offered Zapf a professorship in typographic computer programming the first of its kind in the world. He taught there from 1977 to 1987 flying between Darmstadt and Rochester. There he developed his ideas on digital typography further with the help of his connections in companies such as IBM and Xerox and his discussions with the computer specialists at RIT. Zapf used his experience to begin development of a typesetting program called the “hz-program†which Adobe Systems acquired and later incorporated in their InDesign program.Expertise by: Dominique COURVOISIERExpert de la Bibliothèque nationale de France.

Born on November 25 1905 Raymond Gid became first known through his posters after having studied at les Beaux-Arts. As a film enthusiast he designed many movie posters for example Vampyr de Dreyer photomontage 1932 Le Silence de la mer by Melville 1949 Les Diaboliques by Clouzot 1955. But a meeting with Guy Levis Mano editions GLM editor and typographer soon directed Gid towards the book. In 1935 he publishes together with the photographer Pierre Jahan Devot Christ de Perpignan and Chats Chiens by Ylla. It is an intensive period of his life period: he meets Dufy Corbusier Hake Lurcat and receives the gold medal for a poster at the International exhibition of Paris 1937. He reacts to the Civil War in Spain with a poster " Help to the civil populations ". Together With Father Carre « bete-a-bon-Dieu » of the Resistance Raymond Gid began to design liturgical texts. Apocalypse Six an extract of the biblical text of Saint John appeard after the war. It is one of his major works composed in the Peignot typeface which was designed by Cassandre in 1937. He designs several post-war period posters for example Week of absent a simple Lorraine cross surrounded by barbed wire on a dark background. Right from the beginning of the symposiums in Lure Provence in 1954 Raymond Gid participates in discussions on typography particularly with Maximilen Vox Charles Peignot Roger Excoffon. Raymond Gid puts on page and illustrates the Dialogues of the Carmelite nuns by Bernanos 1954 then some pages in Caractere Noel 1955 dedicated to his friend Jan van Krimpen the creator of dutch type faces. He plays with the breathing of the text in the manner of Mallarme as in his Book of hours 1959 or his Apocalypse 1964 adapting medieval text to present day tastes. He also designs posters like those for the Club Mediterranee 1961 Bally 1976 or heavier fare like that of Amnesty International 1973. During his whole life Raymond Gid remained attached to the typographical arts. He liked to try out new characters in his compositions mixing them with his very free drawings as for example in Messidor published by the Imprimerie nationale 1989.
