  1. Since the late 80s, the typeface foundry Emigre Fonts has been publishing a series of specimen books. They were intended as promotionals. But they turned out to be inspirational eye candy for designers.

    @letterformarchive compiled forty of them in the book “Emigre Fonts: Type Specimens, 1986–2024.”

    It’s nostalgia gold for old-school designers. Something new for the young pups. I could stare at this for hours.

  10. « Nu-Bodies » (1987) lithographie du graphiste et plasticien Edward Fella. En 1993 il c’était fait remarquer en particulier pour la police de caractère Outwest (publiée par la mythique fonderie Emigre) dessinée à la main. #graphisme #typographie #EdwardFella #Emigre

  12. Remember when type companies would make posters, t-shirts, decals, and even CDs and cassette tapes with music, type-decorated pillows, wood blocks, house numbers, pottery…

  14. Around 2000 a friend and I were both designing full color print ads for a magazine and I remember him coming in on Mondays with new fonts from Emigre to test out. Clients were always surprised by what we did with them.

    Here's a poster from Emigre from years ago, which is beautiful.

  16. Just when I think I've seen it all in #typedesign all I need to do is look again through #Emigre's catalog and I swear every time there's something there I never noticed before.

  21. Totally forget to post this Christmas 1986 piece (for or based on a candle sleeve, i think) by Phil Baines - so here it is just in the nick of time. I think @letterformarchive acquired it as part of their vast #emigre collection.

  23. (2/2) "For some reason, I thought that Engels himself and his friend Marx should appear at the end of the operetta and sing a duet. We never wrote the operetta, though, but the duet remained. Here it is: facebook.com/naumsagalovsky/po"

    I won't possibly translate the whole text of that song from Russian, but the premise itself is too spectacularly hilarious not to share it.

  24. (1/2) Naum Sagalovsky: "Sergei Dovlatov once suggested to me a completely ridiculous idea - to write an operetta based on Friedrich Engels' book "The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State". I found the idea interesting and started writing texts — "Couplets of a Pithecanthropus", "Monkey Chorus", "Feudal Tango" etc".

  25. One of the things I love most about @letterformarchive is all the process and sketch work they have. The path to the final design is so illuminating and wonderful. Like this scrappy little folder full of notes by Zuzano Licko for the the Lo-Res #typeface - they have A LOT from

  27. @jasonsantamaria I remember the #agency where I interned bought some fonts from #Emigre, and they sent us a T-Shirt with their logo (nothing fancy), which I totally stol… “borrowed.”
    I remember walking around campus with it, and all the kids in #graphicdesign undergrad asking me where I got it! I explained that my agency bought and they thought it was a big deal, which it was (I have to admit): in #Brazil in the early 2000’s, most people just got bootlegged #fonts from the #Internet
