Awesome Typographic Chess Set Spells Out Name Of Each Piece





Designed by OneSavesSolution, this 3D-printed chess set is designed around the names of the classic game’s pieces.



The bodies of the pieces—namely King, Queen, Bishop, Knight and Pawn—spell out their names in a quirky, “squashed up” font.



The words are then topped with a more traditional depiction of these key players—for instance, the King sports a crown while the Knight is represented by a horse’s head.



A great gift for both typography and chess lovers, the Typographical Chess Set is now available on 3D-printing retail site Shapeways—it comes in a range of colors and materials that have to be ordered separately.
