Well at one point I quickly through together an Alphabet out of LEGO. All are
5 high and average about 5 wide. I agree that some characters look good at
smaller sizes. Some letters like "S" really need to be 5 high for clarity if
you are only using bricks. It is definitely a challange with some letters like
"M" and "W". One of the hardest things is the width, hieght is much more
easily adjusted using plates but width is much less flexible unless you go with
a SNOT design and then the problem is reversed.
Any way here is my "LEGObet" for referance.

The slopes are 1 stud deep and are placed in front of the backgroud "wall". The rectangular bricks 2 are studs (...) (23 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)

| Slightly off topic I was thinking about LEGO fonts since building these stores. It seems that a 3x3 grid including slopes seems to work reasonably. The addition of plates and there is a lot od flexability. Any ideas on the topic? SteveB (23 years ago, 23-Jan-01, to lugnet.trains)
