<\/a> <\/p>\n

Taking the personality of Baskerville<\/a>, mixing it with the thinking of Gill Sans<\/a> (Sans version) and Futura<\/a> (Modern version)  . . .  Zuzana Licko has finished work on the latest companion fonts for her popular Mrs Eaves<\/a> typefaces.<\/p>\n

Mr Eaves (above) is a sans serif take on the types of John Baskerville<\/a> (1706-75). It can be snagged here.<\/a> <\/p>\n

And  . . .  also available is Emigre No. 70<\/em>, a retrospect of Emigre Magazine.<\/a> Emigre – which ran from 1984-2005 – was ‘the next big thing;’ which was a term they used a lot to describe design trends. <\/p>\n

Emigre was a highly-influential, experimental and controversial design magazine that pushed the envelope to where the envelope didn’t look like the envelope anymore. I can safely say its influence can still be seen everywhere today. I miss going to Tower Books (owned by Tower Records<\/a>) or Printers Inc.<\/a> to snag the latest issue.<\/p>\n
