font building blocks

alfabetoefantasiabyleo1.jpg

yesterday i stopped by the bruno munari show in shiodome-italia and among all of the design classics one design stood out for me: alfabeto e fantasia, a set of tiles for children to write, but instead of using already-made letters, it relies on geometric primitives from which to compose – and invent – characters. of course, you can’t buy it anymore, so i reverse-designed it and i’m making it available to anyone with a laser cutter who wants to make their own. now could someone please design the font?
