[tnkmsony] Typeface morphing

Suppose you've designed a new, better typeface, but the letter forms are so different from tradition that trying to read it at first is like reading a substitution cipher.

Write a novel, or better, a text transforming program, for which the letters gradually morph, one letter at a time, from the old form to the new form over the course of the novel.  The beginning of the novel is written entirely in the traditional typeface; by the end, it is entirely in the new typeface.  You learn to read it as you go along.
