Emigre Fonts:
founded by Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko
Emigre is a digital type foundry and publisher of the design journal, Emigre magazine.
Based in Northern California, while Rudy was beginning his typeset magazine, his wife, Zuzana, was breaking ground on the Macintosh computer with emerging technology , and Emigre Fonts was born in 1986.
As part of a small group of believers, Emigre used the restrictions of low resolution output to create inventive new typeface designs and layouts. This earned them recognition early on as innovators in the field of graphic design.
As the Macintosh grew up, so did Emigre. Its library now houses over three hundred modern typeface designs licensed from designers around the world. And Emigre magazine, while a prime showcase for the use of Emigre fonts, has developed into a journal exploring graphic design in the widest sense of the term.
