Typographic Chess.

This typographic chess set, based around the Champion font by Hoefler Frere Jones, brings a typographic simplicity to the game with each piece assuming the form of its initial. It’s almost too pretty to play.

Developed by Jim Sutherland of Hat-Trick Design, each piece is laser cut from 25mm acrylic, and they range in size: the King towers over the board at 50mm tall, while the Pawn stands at just 30mm. The Knight, sharing its initial with the King, is represented by an adjoined KT.

With a limited edition run of 50, a set will will cost you £275 / $450 from Hat-Trick.

    This is sorta cool, but the ‘Kt’ for knight is annoying. Standard algebraic chess notation uses a ‘N’. Design ruined!
