Doret’s type

Posted on February 5th, 2011 by steve

I have one little parallel with Michael Doret.

I like to do type revivals – interpretations – of vernacular lettering that we often take for granted.

My Martini at Joe’s fonts are all about this. I based them on my favorite restaurants, the Joe’s of Northern California.

And Doret based his fantastic Deliscript on signage lettering of world famous Canter’s Deli on Fairfax in LA. This led to him developing their catering truck. All elements of an incredible body of work.

MyFonts caught up with Doret recently – and the result is a great interview.

Read it here.

More of his work below – including his incredible Seinweiss Script types, adapted from the handlettering of Alex Seinweiss, originator of what we know today as Album Covers.
