Description

In 1985, Berkeley-based graphic design company Emigre, the publisher of the legendary design magazine of the same name, launched one of the first independent digital type foundries to explore the new design possibilities offered by the MacIntosh computer. To announce each of their new typeface releases, Emigre (founded by Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko) published small booklets displaying the virtues of the fonts and revealing the processes used to design them.
