Colophon

This book was set in Leavened, 12pt
which was designed by Frank Cossill Jr.
during a period of prodigious arrogance.
He called himself “The Font” and was
known to give out wisdom, as he put it,
for free. “Women are like meningitis.”
He printed a chapbook of his aphorisms
entitled Dark Meat. He was twice married,
twice annulled. Long before his death
at the jaws of a Massey Ferguson thresher
(he considered industrial-scale agriculture
and typesetting interchangeable skills)
Cossill had written and set his gravestone.
In Tunga 20pt it said: Here lies Frank Cossill:
his life was set in 0pt, his bones are sans serif.
