Zapfino is a calligraphic typeface designed for Linotype by renowned typeface designer Hermann Zapf in 1998. It is based on an alphabet Zapf originally penned in 1944. As a font, it makes extensive use of ligatures and character variations (for example, the lower case letter d has nine variations).
Apple Computer includes one of the six weights of Zapfino in Mac OS X, partly to demonstrate its advanced typographic features. The font includes over 1,400 glyphs.
