About the family


ITC Zapf Chancery®, created by master calligrapher and type designer Hermann Zapf, is one of the most enduring script-inspired typefaces of the digital era. Zapf, celebrated for timeless designs such as Palatino, Optima, and Zapfino, drew inspiration from Renaissance chancery hands when he drew ITC Zapf Chancery, blending historical elegance with modern functionality. Part of Apple’s early system font set, ITC Zapf Chancery quickly became the go-to design for everything from wedding invitations to luxury branding.

ITC Zapf Chancery’s graceful strokes and natural rhythm bring a sense of romance and refinement to digital, as well as print environments. Its letterforms are ideally suited to foil-stamp typography and tactile printing techniques, making invitations and programs feel bespoke and memorable. For designers seeking luxury invitation fonts that balance heritage with contemporary usability, Zapf Chancery delivers both sophistication and approachability.

Whether embossed on a special invitation, engraved on menus, or featured in elegant branding, ITC Zapf Chancery continues to carry Hermann Zapf’s vision of type as both functional design and expressive art.
