Editing Hermann Zapf (section)

== Calligraphy ==
Zapf is considered one of the great calligraphers, but he did not work extensively doing commercial lettering and calligraphy. His largest calligraphic project was the "[[Preamble to the United Nations Charter]]", written in four languages, commissioned by the [[Morgan Library & Museum|Pierpont Morgan Library]] in [[New York City|New York]] in 1960,<ref>[https://www.themorgan.org/literary-historical/116614 Preamble of the charter of The United Nations: calligraphic manuscript by Hermann Zapf. Frankfurt am Main, 1960]. [[Morgan Library & Museum]], New York.</ref> for which he received $1000. But his ideas about calligraphy indirectly influenced the look of the mid-20th century as he served as a consultant to Hallmark Cards throughout the 1960s and 70s, helping them to develop a style manual for their lettering artists. His calligraphy was primarily limited to studies and personal works of art. He also taught calligraphy as a part of his workshops every summer at Rochester Institute of Technology during the 1980s.
