I was a student of Ron Arnholm's in the eighties and have to say that your fonts have always influenced my design. As a working graphic designer now, type plays a huge part of who I am and how I design. Thank you for giving us some wonderful choices! Happy Birthday! — Tracy Page, United States

Happy 80th Birthday! I am a designer in Portland, Oregon and just wanted to pass on how your fonts have influenced some of my larger projects. When I worked at Nike as the US creative Director of Brand Design, we choose Avenir as our corporate font in 1996. Several years ago while working with Johnson & Johnson, I recommended Frutiger for the J&J Medical Institute. We were working on an environmental design package for the institute and Museum. I've used Serifa on numerous projects--Univers as well! I just want to say "Thank You" for your talent and persistence. Have a wonderful birthday month! — Valerie Taylor Smith, USA
