Jahrhunderts. Sein Werk überspannt mehr als sieben Jahrzehnte, in denen er Schriftklassiker wie Palatino, Optima und Zapfino vorgelegt hat. Daneben war Zapf als Buchgestalter, Berater, Dozent, Unternehmer, Künstler und Aktivist in Urheberrechtsfragen tätig. Die vorliegende Studie nähert sich diesem Werk auf Basis des umfassenden, an der der Herzog August Bibliothek verwahrten Eigenarchivs des Gestalters. Untersuchungsleitend ist ein feldtheoretisches Konzept von Gestaltung, das Fragen zu Entwurfstechniken und dem Einfluss von Satztechnologien aufwirft, aber auch nach der Entstehung von Zapfs Ansehen und dem Aufbau seines Beziehungsnetzwerks. Durch die Verortung Zapfs im Kontext seiner Zeitgenossen wird mit dieser Werkbiografie ein Schlaglicht auf die Typographie der 2. Hälfte des 20. Jahrhunderts geworfen.
