Polish design studio Pillcrow uses 3D printing to create nearly 100 new fonts in an hour

Maciej Kodzis and Grzegorz Owczarek, of Polish design studio Pillcrow, have been helping budding designers create new fonts with the help of 3D printed guides. The duo used a ZMorph 3D printer to make 3D printed grips for their typographical tools. While most of us rely on classic fonts like Helvetica and Times New Roman, the library of fonts these days goes way behind what Microsoft provides for us. In fact, font creation is now a popular field of design—you can make them by hand-drawing each letter, by cutting your own stamps, and by other means too.
