Emigre

Emigre Fonts, the first digital type foundry, was launched by Rudy Vanderlans and his wife ZuZana Licko in 1984, after Licko recognized a useful tool for constructing typefaces digitally with the introduction of the Macintosh computer. Emigre introduced early dot-matrix fonts, and when technology improved, issued high resolution typefaces. At the same time they published the Emigre magazine which was a testing ground for their digital experimentation. It provided a forum for a growing community of digital designers and was the source of spreading their enthusiasm for new technology. They produced 69 issues of the Emigre magazine from 1984 to 2005. - Posted by Mindy
