Mandelbrot Fractal Zoom

This sequence of ever replicating shapes carries on to infinity, always producing the same shape from the edge of the last. The actual equation generating this is fairly simple - but leads to apparent complexity.

I was thinking that the same principle could be applied to individual letters, with the edge of the letter upon closer examination being made of smaller versions of the same letter tending down to microscopic size. This could be best done through an animation, but that's not the way I want to go with this project. I'd like to do some rough sketches of this anyway, just because I think this would be interesting.
