16 oversize sheets featuring striking motifs from the early days of computer-aided design
For Emigre Fonts designer Zuzana Licko, type can do more than generate words: It can be a springboard for eye-grabbing motifs—from computational grids to geometric florals to looping flourishes.
With sixteen designs conceived by Licko using her iconic typefaces and pattern-composition fonts, Emigre Creative Papers references the vivid colors and graphic experimentation of the 1980s and ’90s, when the leading-edge foundry made its name.
Licko’s creations also explore type as an instrument of digital craft, translated here from the screen to oversize perforated pages for design enthusiasts of the computer age.
