David Fincher’s (director of Fight Club, Seven, etc) newest film The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is coming out this Christmas, and I’m already getting excited. The film is based on a story by F. Scott Fitzgerald that’s now in the public domain. Which means you can legally read ugly versions of it on your very own computer.
Lucky for us, Jonathan McNicol at Never Mind That, Never Mind That Now is making a pretty, typeset pdf for all of us lovers of good literature and good typography! So far, he’s got the first two chapters out. Thanks Kitsune Noir for alerting me to this!

i saw the preview and definitely want to see the movie! it looks so cool! and i am pumped to read the book too (maybe online as suggested)
I LOVE this font. I am obsessed. I even put it in the identify-a-font tool on “i love typography” to try and identify it!
Yay! I thought it was Baskerville in small caps with italic large capital letters. But that’s just a guess. And I’m a dork.
Hahahaha font = Scala
me = dorkier.
(victory)
To my defense, it’s very hard to font-identify in small caps using only memory…
