First attempt at laser cutting type as a precursor to making moveable type sorts and poster print blocks.

Thanks to @StudioNelle for cutting the letters - my laser cutter skills are still sadly lacking.

Next step is trying to use the pantorouter to cut poster blocks, with laser cut templates.

It’s possible that mild dyslexia and typesetting don’t go together too well. Ah well. Live and learn.

ok course, not much to show as it’s very straightforward. If you’re around Sat/Sun happy to show you.

The traditional way was to set type upside down. That way, you’re writing left-to-right, just with inverted letters.
