I love this quote about his type design, it is so French!!

It was typical of Excoffon to combine audacity with caution.

His fonts always made/make the upper crust of the font world cringe, but they are all very successful and still sell.

He was very fast with the brush, a true master, he knew what he was doing. He also was an even better poster designer and graphic designer par excellence.

I love that painting :)
