Emigre is a graphic design & digital type foundry based in Berkeley, California founded in 1985. To announce each of its new typeface releases, they published booklets displaying the fonts & revealing the processes used to design them. In 2016, they published the first 18 years of these specimens in a single book. This reissue of the now out-of-print book is a massive 1,500-page reference providing a definitive and up-to-date collection of the foundry’s remarkable print ephemera since its inception. This volume reissues the popular contents of the 2016 title (now out of print) and picks up where it left off, combining those first 18 years of materials with additional materials from Emigre’s archive, covering 2004 to the present.Founded in 1985 by the husband-and-wife team Rudy VanderLans and Zuzana Licko, it was one of the first independent digital type foundries to explore the new design possibilities offered by the MacIntosh computer. It is also known for its legendary design magazine, Emigre, which was a quarterly magazine published between 1984 and 2005.
