===Zapf Renaissance Antiqua (1984β1986)=== Not part of Stempel's metal Palatino family, Zapf Renaissance Antiqua is a separate interpretation by Zapf of the same Renaissance models dating to 1984β1986, initially created for Scangraphic and later digitised and sold by Linotype along with Palatino. Compared to Palatino, Zapf Renaissance Antiqua has greater stroke contrast, which carries through to the sharp serifs and wedge-like punctuation marks, but it also features smoother transitions between thick and thin strokes.<ref name=":0">{{Cite book|last=Bringhurst|first=Robert|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/961937513|title=Palatino : the natural history of a typeface|date=2016|isbn=978-1-56792-572-2|edition=1st trade|location=Boston|pages=173β175|oclc=961937513}}</ref> It is also notable for including a full set of swash letterforms, with as many as five variants of each lowercase letter β something not included on digital versions of Palatino.<ref name="Zapf Renaissance Antiqua LT">{{cite web|title=Zapf Renaissance Antiqua|url=https://www.myfonts.com/fonts/linotype/zapf-renaissance-antiqua/|website=MyFonts|publisher=Linotype|access-date=27 March 2016|quote=This version was based on Scangraphic SH version (For Display use) and not on the SB version (for text use).}}</ref><ref name=":0" /> According to Linotype the currently available digitisation is based on the versions prepared by Scangraphic for display use, with tight spacing and striking contrasts in stroke weight. A version marketed under the name βZapf Renaissance Antiqua SBβ contains these same high-contrast letterforms, but with looser spacing for running text. However, some typographers have criticized the poor quality of the spacing in all available digitizations, attributing it to an inaccurate conversion from its original, proprietary digital format into PostScript.<ref name=":0" />
