Stop Fless!

What the press has to say about Fless of the D'Urbervilles:

"a work of bizarre romantic genius, both tender and cold." - Fless Xpress

"A governess in a Victorian novel attempts a crossword but is distracted by thoughts of love..."- Deborah Rag, Ironing Hour

"There are moments of accidental lyricism in this processed-based output, and moments of accidental modularity in its most romantic meditations..." - Stuart Gibbons, Filthy/Minimal

"An onanistic logic puzzle" - Renee Tryhard, in her paper Fless or Fleresa: Mimetic Myth-Creation

"Kerning, or the practice of spacing letterforms typographically, is a conceptual motif in this digression on romance and design...Fless of the D'Urbervilles yearns as she kerns." - Letty Maclean, Glenda Glyph: A Typographical Magazine for Girls

"An edgy and erotic relationship between overdesign and underdesign" - Sven Svensson, Swedesign

"The pages of an experimental poetry chapbook from the 70s are torn up and pasted into the rather unremarkable diary of a teenage girl..." - Villetta Hoarfrost, Uncreative Writing Please

"Written works both obscure and explanatory (in their instructional, list-like form) are accompanied by graphic images similarly abstract and intelligible...the works echo in notepaper-gridded abstract space: semi-censored, semi-coherent." - Simon Grimm, Digressions on Inconsistency

"A 70s lifestyle magazine, which, in its aspirational advertising, fills us with longings for manuals on code-breaking, Victorian novellas, modular storage units and fine calligraphy sets..."- Catherine Which, Gloss and Spit: A Consumer Desirables Magazine
