: What font is similar to Zapfino One but a bit more legible? I am looking for a font for my wedding invitation. I like Zapfino One but I think it is not readable enough for an invitation.

I am looking for a font for my wedding invitation. I like Zapfino One but I think it is not readable enough for an invitation. Especially the letter "f" is very large. Is there any professional looking font which is similar to Zapfino One but a bit more readable for my purpose? If not are there any other suggestions?

For sake of completeness, here is a sample of Zapfino One:

Since I make the invitation with LaTeX (XeLaTeX) it would also be ok if you suggest a LaTeX metafont (which I could use with pdflatex).

I am also considering to make the menu-cards with Zapfino One, so it would be great if the font of the wedding invitation would fit to Zapfino One.

Zapf Chancery Normal

This font is also available for pdflatex as metafont.

Zapf Chance Italic

Zapf Calligraphic 801 Italic

Italianno

Furthermore I have found another font called Italianno:

Out of the LaTeX metafonts on this page, I think the closest to Zaphino One would be Calligra

Calligra

Ignoring the LaTeX metafont requirement, there is usually a section devoted to wedding fonts at the larger font vendor websites. Lovers Pro has a similar style but has a little more flamboyance. Virtuosa Classic also looks similar to Zapfino One and is by the same author.
