Filmotype Zeal was originally released in the late 1950s, expanding Filmotype’s Formal Script category. Each letterform is elegant in its shape and the details of its execution while retaining a durability not found in formal script styles — making it perfect for use at smaller sizes.

Filmotype Zeal was developed from the original font filmstrips and includes a full international character complement, automatic fractionals, ordinals, and a very large set of alternate contextual and ending characters and ligatures to allow flawless typesetting in dynamic OpenType format.
