Who would have thought that letters can be re-arranged in the form of boxes? This puzzle font was created by Erik and Martin Demaine, Donald E. Knuth and Yushi Uno last year and was presented at Knuth’s 80th birthday party.

From erikdemaine.org:
Each font can be presented in a fully solved form (“Dissection in both forms”) or in a variety of puzzle forms. “Letter without dissection” is the hardest form: the puzzle for each letter is to find a dissection with the specified number of pieces into a 6 × 6 square. In “Dissection in form of letter”, the puzzle is to find the re-arrangement of the letter into the square (a relatively easy puzzle). In “Dissection in form of square”, the puzzle is to figure out which letter the pieces can re-arrange into; this form is a puzzle font in the sense that reading the message requires solving the puzzle.
