The typeface grew popular very rapidly, finding usage in hundreds of American newspapers, as well as in high profile publications in Zapf’s native Germany. The harmonious forms of the design are reminiscent of the Renaissance and, combined with Zapf’s economical fit, make the typeface well-suited for anything rang- ing from headlines and advertisements to newspaper body text and instruction manuals.
