#emigre — Public Fediverse posts

Ahh, the good old days. More print design in my mailbox, plz. #RudyVdL #ZuzanaLicko #houseind #p22 #emigre #typeDesign #design

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.

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…

(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: https://www.facebook.com/naumsagalovsky/posts/pfbid02STuwKdGGNYoqAqJ3rNDuPkSYTEteJohCn7evh8FssUcCJshvqUv9YmakkDyVhzSGl"

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.

(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".
