Voice Print is a book about speech disfluencies, the interruptions and irregularities that occur when people speak. The book uses typographic scores, visual patterns that map speech over time, to show that fluency exists on a spectrum rather than as a simple division into two states. The scores are printed on translucent paper with strong show-through. Essays set in white on black, on glossy and opaque paper, give context and guide the reader. The book measures 9 by 12 inches, the same size as sheet music.
