It wasn’t until the spread of phototypesetting in the 1960s that Choc could be used efficiently for large-scale applications.

And Hermann Zapf, who created breakthrough typefaces spanning the eras of metal typesetting, phototypesetting and digital typesetting, died at 96.

Prolific and versatile, he created around 200 typefaces in numerous alphabets, including Latin, Cyrillic, Arabic and Cherokee, spanning the eras of metal typesetting, phototypesetting and digital typesetting.

Mr. Zapf began designing typefaces for phototypesetting, the first computer-aided form of typesetting.

We were right on the cusp of the electronic age and had begun to use phototypesetting machines, but the paper was still composed physically on cardboard flats with film strips, X-Acto knives, hot wax, and rubber rollers.
