Zapfino. Now with Berry Defense!

Wow, jeffrock really hates Zapfino! He’s got a whole set of font abuse photos featuring it. While I see his point about its “indulgant [sic], ham-handed, false-sense-of-class styling” the thing that really dismays me about this particular example is that it doesn’t use any of the sweet alternate OpenType ligatures that, to me, are the main feature of the font. Specifically the double-l double-s “wellness” and the unconnected ‘x’ in Extract get some nice treatment.
