Today I had a very interesting worship on laser cutting. We were given the task of selecting a typeface. In my case I chose Mesquite Std Medium. We then had to adjust the kerning and tracking if the words so that they became a single object ready to be cut. The typeface I chose has very tiny elaborate details which I thought would look beautiful cut in Perspex. At first I thought the laser wouldn’t be able to handle such detail, so I ran a few tests to make sure. Here is the final typeface. I think I have done a very good job manipulating the type to form a single object and is just the right size for the machine to cut.
