Description

In 1985, Berkely-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 Mackintosh 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. The type specimens featured in this book are a selection of some of "migr(c)'s most memorable productions of the past 30 years.
