1984 was the year of a typographic revolution.
However, typographic revolutions rarely make
headlines, but that does not mean that they do not
create waves.
While for the rest of the typography
world it was business as usual, somewhere in the
suburbs of California a Dutch émigré launched an
obscure magazine for fellow designer exiles called
just that - Émigré.

But what really set this revolution in motion is that this designer happened to
acquire a revolutionary new tool for setting the
design of this magazine – a Mac.
Oh, and he also
happened to be married to a fellow designer and
émigré, the Czech born Zuzana Licko.
Together,
they unknowingly started a design revolution.
