Finally, after years of planning, research, negotiations, editing, design and production, printed copies of the Emigre No.70 book have arrived at Emigre’s warehouse.

This 512-page book, designed and edited by Emigre co-founder and designer Rudy VanderLans, is a selection of reprints that traces Emigre’s development from its early bitmap design days in the mid 1980s through to the experimental layouts that defined the so-called “Legibility Wars” of the late 1990s, to the critical design writing of the early 2000s. Featuring interviews with, among others, The Designers Republic, Allen Hori, Rick Valicenti, Vaughan Oliver, Mr. Keedy, Ed Fella, and essays by Lorraine Wild, Anne Burdick, Zuzana Licko, Kenneth FitzGerald, Andrew Blauvelt, Kalle Lasn, Rick Poynor and many more.

The book also includes the following bonus material:

  • 32-Page booklet of Letters to the Editor
  • CD with select audio tracks and video
  • 15″ x 20″ Commemorative poster

I’m not a typographer, but I do love the way that typography looks when it has aged and been distressed somewhat. Beautiful unintentional graphic design.
