Andre's books are also in the less obvious languages like
l-to-r Hungarian, Portuguese, Swedish, Greek
As well as widely acclaimed novels, he writes for other practitioners of the careers in which he has distinguished himself, most recently with his books for graphic designers.
He is happiest when his hobbies or convictions and one of his professions coincide, as in his Ekol-V environmental swash font for Envirex, inspired by the hills he loves to walk on.
