The Emigre Coloring BookCrackly 2 3

Years ago, during a visit to New York,

we had lunch with Steven Heller and the

topic of coloring books came up. It was

during the time when coloring books

were the next big thing in publishing.

Publishers were producing them at

a steady clip. Bookstores everywhere

had entire sections devoted to them.

“Emigre should do a coloring book,”

Heller suggested. “Millions hang in the

balance!” he exclaimed. Heller, who has

published over 100 books on graphic

design and popular culture, is not a

person whose advice we easily dismiss,

but his tongue-in-cheek was hard to

miss. We had a good chuckle about how

to spend the riches, but we couldn't

imagine what an Emigre coloring book

would look like.

Until now. While experimenting with

line patterns, designer Zuzana Licko

stumbled upon the perfect font to

create abstract graphics that would

work perfectly for creating a coloring

book. We called the font “Crackly.”

The idea for these angular pattern

fonts came from Licko’s ceramic

sculptures. She was composing stacked

totems from modular cones and disks

of various sizes and angles, and to

help visualize these shapes in different

combinations, she made herself a font

(see top right) so she could type out

the sculpture compositions before

assembling them.

Recognizing that the font itself had

potential, she started experimenting

with its shapes and outlining them

(see right), which then slowly evolved

into the Crackly fonts. The actual cone

shapes used for the sculptures were

eventually dropped from Crackly in

favor of elements that could be rotated

in a square (see left) and combined

into dynamic patterns, much like the

The idea for Crackly came from a font Licko designed (see left) to help her design the ceramic sculptures she was working on. She was composing stacked totems made from modular cones and disks of various sizes and angles. To help visualize these shapes in different combinations the font allowed her to type out the sculpture compositions before assembling them.

Seeing the cones in 2-D, Licko started experimenting with the font by connecting the diagonals (see left), which then slowly evolved into the Crackly fonts. The cone shapes used for the sculptures were eventually dropped from Crackly in favor of elements that could be rotated in a square and combined into dynamic patterns (see page 2), much like the process Licko used to create Tangly.

process Licko used to create Tangly,

her previous pattern font design.

Many of the resulting patterns create

3-D illusions of depth with incongruous

perspectives, also explored in Jonathan

Barnbrook’s Priori Acute font and its

ornaments. The effect is also reminis-

cent of Cubism or M.C. Escher’s plays

on shifting planes and viewpoints.

As Licko was experimenting with the

patterns, it occurred to her that the

compositions would make excellent

graphics for coloring. This reminded

her of the lunch with Heller and his

suggestion for an Emigre coloring book.

Realizing we had probably missed the

boat, and presumably left millions

on the table, we decided to make a

coloring book disguised as a type

specimen (or vice versa?), and give it

away for free to help promote our new

font Crackly.

What Crackly adds to the coloring

book phenomenon, though, is that

you can use these pattern fonts to

make compositions, print them out

on your laser printer, and generate

your own coloring pages. We imagine

that kids and adults alike can enjoy

the experience of getting lost in the

moment of experimentation and

coloring. Or you can use Crackly for

any other pattern applications, such

as endpapers or backgrounds. The

options are limitless.

Crackly comes in a variety of line

weights to accommodate use at various

sizes. In this way, Crackly contains some

of the features of optically-sized fonts.

Crackly also offers a Shadows version,

featuring filled in components to create

additional playful patterns.

aba

Crackly has a number of inspirational sources and conceptual kin-ships. Besides the font that Licko designed for her modular ceramic totems, which got the ball rolling, Crackly’s patterns create the same kind of 3-D illusions of depth and surprising perspectives explored in Jonathan Barnbrook’s Priori Acute fonts and its ornaments (see left). The patterns that are created from rotations of the same element bear resemblance to Bram de Does’ Kaba ornament compo-sitions, which share the same underlying process (see below).

While the previous pages show us how

Crackly can be used to create a variety

of patterns using the basic Crackly

Lines fonts, additional visual effects

can be generated by combining and

overlaying Crackly Lines with Crackly

Knockout and Crackly Shadows.

On the following pages we’ll show

you how to use the different Crackly

versions in combination to generate a

number of different effects.

On pages 32-35 we show how

Crackly Knockout can be used to add

background colors, and on pages 36 - 37,

we explain, step by step, how the cover

image was created using a combination

of all three Crackly variants.

On pages 38 - 43 we show examples of

texture variations using the different

Knockout fonts together with the

Shadows font.

Crackly Knockout was used to create the white background shape in the cover illustration.

Follow these steps to create the cover image:1. Start with a Crackly Lines composition, with the

text set to black, on top of a grey color field.2. Duplicate the Crackly Lines text block, set the

color to white, and change the font to Crackly Knockout All.

3. Change the top line to Crackly Knockout Edge Top, and change to bottom line to Crackly Knockout Edge Bottom.

4. Change the top left element to Crackly Knock-out Corner Top Left. Similarly, change the remaining three corners; change the top right element to Crackly Knockout Corner Top Right, change the bottom left element to Crackly Knockout Corner Bottom Left, and change the bottom right element to Crackly Knockout Corner Bottom Right.

5. Change the left edge elements to Crackly Knockout Edge Left. Similarly, change the right edge elements to Crackly Knockout Edge Right.

6. To add the green accents, duplicate the black layer, change the text color to green, and change the font to Crackly Shadows.

7. Remove unwanted shadows by replacing them with a space character.
