Great, but could be very laborious. Even for a speed cuber it is likely to take a few seconds to setup each character. Maybe the idea is to buy lots of them (clever sales technique) so they can setup for all the common characters in advance.

Cute idea... But, almost completely impractical. It would be like drawing animation frames on an Etch-A-Sketch.

moued?

we have moued??

mmmh. despite that: nice toy. guess you can create a lot more than just letters with that thing, even if it takes a while to sort it out (remembering how long it took me to get the color cube done with just two matching colors... ;D )

Fantastic, get to manufacturing these, there's a market amongst graphic designers at least!

PS: Erm, I'm not sure this is supposed to be entirely 'practical', is it. After all, we do have several means of 'typesetting' and printing at our disposal these days! You've got to laugh.

Occasionally, I see something I really wished I'd thought of. This is one of those things and for that I love it and loathe it in equal measure. And will of course buy one, but just not tell anyone I have. Well done, Jas, it's brilliant and I hate you.

The ink from previous letters is going to get all over your hands, right? messy.... and excellent!

your type cube really isn't the same though is it Scott.
You don't really produce anything. Afterall we all love
printing as designers. Love the cube.

Go on dragon's den! It's a really clever design. Well done Jas

So, the difference between an "A" and an "M" is a circle vs a square in the center position? Not very readable

Great minds eh? I did this for the recent ISTD competition.

Terrible. The fonts look brutal, and it would take far too long to actually use. I wouldn't even rate it as a conceptual idea, because it has no possible real world application.

its really innovative and creative thought ,its remarkable for the thought of the designer,we can make signature designs which could be somewhere around 9x9x9x9x9x9=531441(minimum) designs will always be in your hand if you use it as block print,usage is uncountable.from now am going to buy rubik cubes.
