Doyald Young (1926 - 2011), a logotype designer and teacher whose three monographs on letterforms and alphabets, including the provocatively titled "Dangerous Curves," reintroduced classical design principles to designers at a time when inelegant lettering was in vogue... "There's not a trace of ego in his work," the letterer Marian Bantjes wrote for the American Institute of Graphic Arts when the organization awarded Mr. Young its 2009 Medal for Lifetime Achievement. "The range of letterforms able to flow at any time from his hand is great. ... That is where his work is unmistakable: perfect letterforms drawn in pencil at a surprisingly small size without so much as a mark of hesitation or awkwardness." (from New York Time Obituaries).
