David Lance Goines (1945 – 2023), was an American artist, calligrapher, printmaker, typographer, printing entrepreneur, and author. He was born in Grants Pass, Oregon, the oldest of eight children. His father was a civil engineer and his mother a calligrapher and artist. Alice Waters' and Goines' book, 30 Recipes Suitable for Framing (1968), and the series of lithographs Goines printed at his shop that sold out its many printing runs, earned the money to buy the Berkeley Free Press print shop in 1968 from Leo Bach, renaming it, Saint Hieronymus Press. Goines did many illustrations for Chez Panisse restaurant. The major output of the press is Goines' limited edition poster and calendar art. Goines' art style has been described as "minimalist". In 1982, Goines published the calligraphic classic A Constructed Roman Alphabet, which won him the 1983 American Book Award. Several books collecting his poster art have been published. Goines' art and posters can be found in international museum collections. In addition to his artistic and calligraphic work, Goines was also a non-fiction author who has written about political activism.
