“selling someone an x for a u” is the german for pulling the wool over someone’s eyes. the two letters themselves can’t help it – typefaces can’t distinguish between fact and fiction, between story and history. but the truth is: there is no truth. because like typefaces, history is refashioned by time. and today’s story could well be tomorrow’s history.
