Gudrun Zapf von Hesse (born January 2, 1918) is a German typographer, calligrapher and book-binder. She is the 1991 winner of the Frederic W. Goudy Award. She has also designed several fonts. CareerVon Hesse served a book-binding apprenticeship with Otto Dorfner, finishing with a Master’s Diploma in 1940. She pursued an independent course of studies on calligraphy and letterforms, concentrating on the work of Rudolf Koch and Edward Johnston.[1] After World War II, she opened her own book bindery, and learned punchcutting at the Bauer type foundry in Frankfurt.[2] From 1946 to 1954, Von Hesse taught lettering at the Städelschule in Frankfurt.[3] After attracting notice at an exhibition of calligraphy, she was commissioned by the Stempel foundry in Frankfurt to design typefaces, and went on to a successful career as a typographer with Stempel. "In my opinion," she later said, " the best foundation for creating new alphabets is an intensive study of calligraphy."[3] She married Herman Zapf, Stempel's art director and prolific typeface designer, on August 1, 1951, and the two managed thereafter to keep their professional work somewhat separate.[2][4] In 1991, Hesse was the second woman to receive the prestigious Frederic W. Goudy award, given by the Rochester Institute of Technology, Rochester, New York. In 2001, she was recognized with a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Friends of Calligraphy. She turned 100 in January 2018.[7] In 2018, Monotype released the titling typeface Hesse-Antiqua to mark her hundredth birthday.[7] Digitised by Ferdinand Ulrich, it is based on an alphabet for book jackets she designed in the late 1940s.[7] Typeface designs
