“Frankenfont”

The clever folks at Fathom.info printed a copy of Frankenstein, the Mary Shelly novel, set in unkerned fonts scavenged from PDF files found online. The result is stunning, a testament to the power of type to help tell a story.

The font starts off fairly normal and becomes more fragmented and grotesque as the story progresses, adding “a dimension of anguish” to match the narrative.

Also, remember that Frankenstein ≠ the Monster. And Frankenstein is pronounced fron•ken•steen.  #psa
