It's the font that does it.

Since the images of the figs are binarized too, I'm imagining a font fully made of figs from different angles. Uppercase letters would be whole figs, and lowercase would be figs cut in half like in the image.

I recently heard that the center of a fig is actually a dead wasp. That seemed unlikely, but I googled it. Turns out, it's not true. But it's closer to being true than you might expect.

I was a little worried about the crunchiness, but have been reassured it's indeed just seeds.

I love figs so much, I'd still eat them even if they were full of wasps.

Bullshit. It's the same fig.
