Filmotype Zanzibar
Mark Simonson · Mark Simonson · 2008
scriptornate semi-script italic revival
An ornate 1950s semi-script pairing spiralling capitals with a condensed, Bodoni-like italic lowercase.
About
Filmotype Zanzibar combines outlandishly ornate capitals, seemingly inspired by musical notation, with a condensed Bodoni-like italic lowercase. Simonson describes it as really a highly stylised italic rather than a true script, though the overall effect reads as one. His revival expands the character set well beyond the original film font.
Classification
A highly stylised italic that reads as a script, so it's classed script even though Simonson describes it as a semi-script.
