Michael Walden manually transcribed every on-screen character from the 1983 movie WarGames, filled in the 14 missing glyphs, and turned them into a complete 95-character font pack. The project started in 2007. It took 18 years to finish. That’s dedication to a bit.

Visuals of the DayIn the 1980s and ’90s, Emigre was a prolific powerhouse. The company started out as a magazine in the mid-1980s, but quickly became a type foundry as the Mac enabled desktop publishing. As a young designer in San Francisco who started out in the ’90s, Zuzana Licko and Rudy VanderLans were local heroes (they were based across the Bay in Berkeley). From 1990–1999 they churned out 37 typefaces for a total of 157 fonts. And in that decade, they expanded their influence by getting into music, artists book publishing, and apparel. More than any other design brand, they celebrated art and artists.
