字体设巨匠Hermann Zapf，今年辞世了，享年96岁。自1980年以来，Hermann Zapf一直是TeX用户组织（TUG）的荣誉会员，贡献了TeX中的Euler字体并与高德纳多次讨论计算机现代字体（Computer Modern fonts）的设计。他留给这个世界的遗产难以枚举，他设计如下三个字体：Palatino, Optima 和 Zapfino，足窥见其设计功力。

感谢他所做的一切，仅此缅怀！（选自：http://tex.blogoverflow.com/2015/06/thank-you-hermann-zapf/）

感谢他所做的！

I’ve been asked to tell you about myself and my types. My story begins in Nuremberg, where I was born on 8 November 1918.
Those were turbulent days. On the day I was born, a workers’ and soldiers’ council took political control of the city. Munich and Berlin were rocked by revolution. The war ended, and the Republic was declared in Berlin on 9 November 1918. The next day Kaiser Wilhelm fled to Holland.
To add to the chaos, the Spanish flu took hold of Europe in 1918 and 1919. It is estimated to have killed some 20 million people, more lives than were lost by Germany and the Allies put together during the First World War. Two of my siblings died in the flu epidemic of 1918.

Giant!!!

致敬！！！

The father of typeface.

Palatino由世界著名书法家 Hermann Zapf 设计的这款基于威尼斯抄书员字迹风格的字体，乍一看貌似笔画坑坑洼洼，末端尖锐无比，不是供阅读的料。

但将其调作正文字体时，这些尖锐的「刺」竟全部化作了视觉移动的良好引导，而且不像 Swift 那样为了加快阅读速度放弃了部分美感，Palatino 在不同字号下保持其难以名其妙处的「优雅」，正如同一设计师的另一名作 Optima 那样，虽然保留了德式字体的「尖锐」感，但正是这「尖锐」，使字形整体反倒显得非常柔和。在大字号下有清晰的美，在小字号下有轻柔的美，乱而不乱，大巧不工。

The founder of the typeface!!!

仅此缅怀!!!
