This Letter Made My Day

Uyên xin gửi lời chào anh Donny,

My name is Uyên Đồng, and I’m writing to you with deep respect for your work and your long-standing contribution to Vietnamese typography.

Your research and writing, especially Vietnamese Typography and “Diacritical Details,” have accompanied me quietly but persistently throughout my journey as a designer and educator. What I admire most is not only the depth of your typographic knowledge, but the care, clarity, and responsibility with which you approach Vietnamese diacritics as both a linguistic and cultural system. Your work set a foundation many of us continue to stand on.

She went on:

Your work made me realize how essential it is for Vietnamese typography research to continue evolving, not only through books, but also through digital forms that allow knowledge to be shared, revisited, and expanded over time.

I am so grateful for her words of encouragement. I will contribute what I can to continue elevating Vietnamese typography.
