Mr. Doret;

I am now a huge fan of your work. I have sent this article to many of my designer friends, because I believe your work and influence needs to be seen by everyone that works in the graphic arts. I myself came into this through the back door, but I have been lucky enough to make a modest living at it for the last 15 years. I make yellow pages advertising and phonebook covers. I am more McDonald's to your Nobu, but I very much enjoy your fonts and letter art and look forward to doing further research into your work. Is there a book about you? There should be.

With Sincerest Admiration, Michael W. Archer

Michael, I've loved your work since that classic KISS album cover! I can't wait to see the latest one as Paul seems pretty excited about it as well. You are one of my early inspirations to become an artist myself. I must have practiced drawing that cover 100 times growing up... Keep on keepin' on!

Michael Doret is to typography what Jimi Hendrix was to the electric guitar - he's in a league all his own. There's typographers and then there's Michael Doret. Inspirational Work!

EXCELLENT article! Michael is one of the true icons of the typography world -- his career has set the bar many times over! Excellent article -- we'll link to it from the Design Center Typography department.

I knew the Aurora Borealis story but I never knew your complete professional background. It is great to find out the whole story and how you evolved as an artist. I've always loved everything I've seen you do including, but not limited to, being a really great guy.

A wonderful interview and writeup. â€¦and great info on creating your fonts, Michael.
Thoroughly enjoyed it.
I especially love fonts created based on the old lettering/signage/logos of the one you found for Gevaert!
Also, very pleased to find out who designed the SNZ art for that album! Great job!
