Typography 1

Typography (1980's)

In the mid-1980's personal computers and low-resolution printers put the tools of typography in 

the hands of a broader public. In 1985 Zuzana Licko began designing typefaces that exploited the

rough grain of early desktop systems. 

Zuzana and her husband, Rudy Vanderlans, cofounders of Emigre Fonts and Emigre magazine, called themselves the "new primitives," pioneers of a technological dawn.
