This is a 3D-printed version of a 1944 typeface from American Type Foundry called ALPHA-BLOX. I came across this typeface at Hatch Show Print in Nashville, Tennessee. They were using a linoleum-cut version in their educational classes and summer camps.
This is a modular set of type, and requires an extensive set of forms to complete a design. We used this as part of an interactive element of our display at Pensacola Mini Maker Faire 2022.
