For the mere look of a printed line is itself extremely characteristic --- it presents, that is, a quite special appearance, the letters all roughly the same size, akin in shape too, and always recurring; most of the words constantly repeated and immensely familiar to us, like well-known faces.

-- from Philosophical Investigations, Ludwig Wittgenstein, Sect. 167, p73-74e
