No Magic in Riso
What did it take for 4 people (including the exceptional Vivian Wang) to complete this book? In short - 850 days, 74 tubes of soy ink, 15 colors, 660 masters, 690,000 sheets of paper, 3 fans, and 2 riso printers. It was evidently worth it, however, because the end result is nothing short of a masterpiece!

If you haven't been fortunate enough to find a font that resembles the look of a certain species of fish, you're in for a treat! Developed by Raven Mo in just 4 weeks, this font is inspired by the the chaotic and irrational character of anglerfish that they seem to be completely unaware of.
