In 1984 a radically new graphic design magazine set out to explore the as-yet-untapped and uncharted possibilities of Macintosh-generated graphic design. Boldly new and different, Emigre broke rules, opened eyes and earned its creators, Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, cult status in the world of graphic design. After a decade of publishing, the jury is still out on Emigre. But now, thanks to this comprehensive 10-year retrospective, you can reach your own conclusions. Are Emigre’s Mac-generated graphics important, influential and controversial…or just plain ugly? You decide. "The only people who have trouble reading Emigre are graphic designers who have been trained to make type clear. The rest of the world doesn’t live in that purist atmosphere." —Chuck Byrne, Print Magazine, September 1992 Here gathered together for the first time, you’ll find: Every Emigre cover ever issued A full catalog of over 80 Emigre typefaces Emigre’s most striking editorial layouts Plus stimulating and provocative commentary from both Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko How has a magazine that prints just 7,000 copies managed to outrage so many graphic designers while inspiring so many others? The answer is in your hands.

This book was released on 2003. Type Now available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. "In the mid-1980s - with the widespread adoption of the personal computer and small laser printers, with the introduction of cheap software packages for making pages and typefaces - a revolution in typography was set in train. Among several unforeseen consequences was an overthrow of the old way of making typefaces: the initiative passed from the old industrially-based companies to small, often one- or two-person outfits. Now we are far enough into this new era to begin to make an assessment." "The first part of this book is a personal statement. Fred Smeijers considers the gains and also the illusions and pitfalls of technical advance. Bringing a deep historical awareness to bear on the topic, he puts this brief recent phase into perspective. Along the way are sharp remarks on the place of the designer in the social world, on the question of copying and copyright. This realistic view brings high-flown pretensions down to earth, yet puts forward a more solid and enduring vision. Smeijers ends this modest manifesto with a new code of conduct for designers." "The second part of the book presents Smeijers's own work as a type designer and graphic designer, over twenty years. It shows all his types and fonts, including several that have until now been hidden from public view, and includes the designer's own narrative of his work so far." "The book has been made in connection with the award to Fred Smeijers of the Gorrit Noordzij Prize, in recognition of his contribution as a designer, teacher, and writer." --Book Jacket.

This book was released on 2016. Emigre Fonts available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. 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 published small booklets displaying the virtues of the fonts and revealing the processes used to design them. By creating specific contexts, many of these so called "type specimens" went beyond being simple sales tools. In fact the Emigre booklets were meant to be enjoyed as much for the typefaces as for their esoteric content.
