![]() Taco Hoekwater, Hans Hagen, and Khaled Hosny set out to create an OpenType MATH-enabled font Neo-Euler (2009-2010), by combining the existing Euler math fonts with new glyphs from Hermann Zapf (designed in the period 2005-2008). students Scott Kim and John Hobby, completed the calligraphic typeface family AMS Euler for the American Mathematical Society (+ Fraktur, Math Symbols, + script). In 1983, Zapf, Knuth and graduate students in Knuth's and Charles Bigelow's Digital Typography program at Stanford University including students Dan Mills, Carol Twombly, David Siegel, and Knuth's computer science Ph.D. Zapf was also consultant for Don Knuth on his Computer Modern fonts.

Digiset Vario ( 1982, Hell): a signage face.Only the 24-point Didot size is cut or planned. ![]() There are several ligatures, and alternate versions of a number of characters, including several terminals. A smooth flow between weights of strokes replaces the stark contrast of thick-and-thin in older interpretations. The new Zapf design has the same general character but with a more informal and contemporary feeling. Other interpretations have been made from time to time, notably the Civilité (q.v.) designed by Morris Benton in 1922 for ATF. The first Civilité typeface was cut by Robert Granjon in 1557, based on a popular French handwriting style of the time. The cutting was done by Paul Hayden Duensing in Kalamazoo, Michigan. Mac McGrew on the Zapf Civilité: Zapf Civilite is perhaps the latest typeface to be cut as metal type, having been announced in January 1985, although the designer, Hermann Zapf, had made sketches for such a typeface as early as 1940, with further sketches in 1971.
