Learning from the best.

Hannes von Döhren has achieved what thousands of type designers dream of: he makes a living from his typefaces. With HVD-Fonts, he has his own typeface distribution company, and with Brandon, he has a world bestseller. In this book, he presents his principle of success and his multiple award-winning typefaces.

"On the streets you look at girls - I look at type." And in the supermarket he plays Grill vs. Dax and buys his food by lettering. Six years ago, he decided to draw at least one letter every day and make a living at it. Observation, enthusiasm and persistence led to the TDC award and a breakthrough.
