dittorations (ditto iterations)
No matter how many times something is repeated, and no matter how much something is copied, there is always a small difference. There are infinite iterations of a single form. Same content, but different. Same meaning, but different. Same character, but different. Even with the amass of pink amoebas in this book, notoriously known for replication within the game, there are still an infinite amount that are also undocumented. Every Ditto is the same in each medium, but different in its existence.
The typeface used is Beowolf. One special property of this typeface is that not every letter looks the same. There are small shifts to make sure that each letter in different contexts are different.
