Introducing CracklyThe Emigre Coloring Book
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.

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.

The Crackly Knockout and Shadows fonts can create additional effects through layering.
1. This Knockout layer has the 15 top left elements set to Crackly Knockout Corner Top Left, the 12 top right elements set to Crackly Knockout Cor-ner Top Right, the 12 bottom left elements set to Crackly Knockout Corner Bottom Left, and 15 bottom right elements set to Crackly Knockout Corner Bottom Right. All seven compositions on this spread use the same Knockout layer, with the following additions:
2. The same text block is set to Crackly Shadows and overlaid in black.
3. The same text block is set to Crackly Shadows 30 and overlaid in black.
4. The same text block is set to Crackly Lines 30 and overlaid in black.
5. The same text block is set to Crackly Lines 30 and overlaid in white. The knockout layer is set to black.
6. The same text block is set to Crackly Lines 30 and overlaid in white. The knockout layer is set to black, and a third text block with same text is set to Crackly Shadows and set to white.
7. The same text block is set to Crackly Lines 30 and overlaid in black. The knockout layer is set to black, and a third text block with same text is set to Crackly Shadows and set to green.
