About Bentley Snowflake

Bentley Snowflake recreates the look of Wilson A. Bentley's photomicrographs: a single six-fold ice crystal caught on black velvet, the negative's ground scraped to dense pure black so the cool near-white dendrite reads with clinical clarity. Every plate is centred, monochrome, and hand-numbered.

The system is built for specimen-style presentation. Typewriter monospace carries every label and caption, hexagonal symmetry governs ornament, and colour is forbidden — only the gray ladder between crystal white and photographic black.
