Doyald Young 1926-2011
Doyald Young desk in August 2010.
You’re a true gentleman in all aspects. I know you from many years, we don’t meet enough (never), but each time we’ve discussed over the phone or when we meet in Paris few years back or more recently in your home in Los Angeles, we spend very nice moment together. I have discovered your work in a bookshop (!), I was amazed and even more when we meet in real.
Thanks for all your knowledge, your dangerous curves and inspiration, you’re a formidable lettering artist, a formidable typeface designer, with a great éclat. Glad to be among your friends for the eternity. I will keep your smile in mind more long.
Jean François Porchez.
