She, along with her family emigrated to the United States in 1968 when she was seven years old. Her father was a biomathematician and provided her with access to computers. It was with this access that she had the opportunity to design her first typeface, a Greek alphabet, which her father used for his personal use. Most Zuzana entered the University of California at Berkeley in 1981 as an undergraduate, enrolled to study architecture, however she changed her major to visual studies and pursued a graphic communications degree and soon realized that Popular typography interested her the most. She was fascinated with experimenting with type as an illustration. But because UC Berkeley did not have a program specifically for type design, she only got to use typefaces at this time, Typeface not create them. Zuzana met her husband, Rudy VanderLans at UC Berkeley around 1982. He was studying photography and had completed a traditional education in design from the Royal Academy of Arts in The Hague, Holland prior to his enrollment Mrs Eaves at UC Berkeley. Together, Zuzana, Rudy and two Dutch immigrants formed Emigre. Emigre was A typeface design based on Baskerville originally meant to be a cultural journal to showcase artists, photographers, poets, and architects. In 1984, the first issue of Emigre was put together in an 11.5’’ by 17’’ format. Working with the newly invented Macintosh computer and a bitmap font tool, Zuzana began creating fonts for Emigre. After the first two issues, several readers began to inquire about the availability of fonts being used in Emigre. Zuzana began running ads for them starting in issue three. Emigre is a type foundry still in operation today. Emigre magazine was published from 1984 - 2005, a total of 69 issues were produced. .
