Last year Andrew Capener designed a stunning Scrabble set with a minimalist wooden board and a lovely use of fonts on the tiles which had even Gizmodo alum Rosa wishing it was a reality. Well come August, it will be.
According to Andrew’s blog, there was so much positive feedback online for the set that Hasbro has teamed up with a high-end licensee called Winning Solutions to put the Scrabble Typography Edition into production. Come August it will be available in two versions, a premiere set that looks almost identical to Andrew’s original creation for $US200, and a cheaper $US50 version which will still use the unique set of fonts on all the alphabet tiles. Congratulations internet, you’ve done it again. [Winning Solutions via Polaroids & Paragraphs]
