Nameless Being
 
Just downloaded the sample for Forgery to my Kindle and amused to see the custom font that looks very organic; as if each character of the font was originally scanned from a real paperback book. The capital letter 'C' even has a huge gap in it, as does the letter 'F'.

I must say, the effect is unique. It reminds me of, in photography, simulating the film grain of various classic film emulsions over a digital image. When done well, it can add a subliminal yet appropriate texture to a photograph.

I get the sense the publisher put some effort into making this ebook represent the original printed work as best they could.
