I enjoy watching foreign
films, but if every foreign film had bacon for subtitles... well, a girl can dream. To promote the
Chicago Latino Film Festival,
LAPIZ sought to draw more attention
to subtitled dialogue by creating a new font: bacon. A typographer was hired to create "Bacon Subtitles," a job I would be unable to complete because I would never get past creating the letter "A."
The typographer had the same dilemma I would, so he hired a non-meat eater to complete the task. The alphabet never looked so good. The "mockumentary" ends with a snippet from a movie from the
festival that used the bacon font for subtitles. Interestingly enough, the movie, "Pork Chops/Carnitas," tells the story of a young girl and her pet pig.
