Emigre was founded in 1984 in California by Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, first around a magazine of the same name, published until 2005. With the arrival of the Macintosh, Licko was one of the first to design typefaces directly on a computer.
Positioning
Emigre was the foundry of the graphic avant-garde of the 1980s and 1990s, associated with postmodernism and digital experimentation. Its magazine deeply shaped the debate on graphic design at the time.
Catalog
A catalog ranging from the early bitmap fonts to classic revivals, including experimental creations by many guest designers.
Signature typefaces
The bitmap fonts Oakland and Emperor, Matrix, Mrs Eaves, Filosofia, Base, and Barry Deck's Template Gothic.
