What do you get when you mix fonts and sperm?

Um. Apparently a MoMA exhibit titled the Typosperma project. According to the project’s website:

“The main idea of the ‘Typosperma’ project was to create some sort of new transgenic creatures, half (human) sperm, half letter. These imaginary creatures are cloned sperms, that typographic information has been implanted into their DNA.”

Now it’s not like the sperm are shaped like alphabets (like I envisioned). Instead the sperm have little bits of type (serif I’ll have you know) sticking out of them. One has the distinct curl of the bottom of the letter “y” poking out of its gut. Another has a touch of the letter “s” appearing in its flank.

You know when stuff is weird and you want to share it with people? Like weird food flavors ("Oh my god this tastes so GROSS. Here! Try it!!” sound familiar?) . That’s why I’m telling you about the weird letter sperm. I’m just putting it out there, like PB&J on a sushi menu.

You lucky bastard New York dwellers. You can go check out the work in person at the MoMA come February. I’m thinking it’s perfectly timed for that perfect Valentine’s day date… Nothing says romance and seduction like mutated sperm I tell you.
