TeX - LaTeX Asked by MrBrightside on March 21, 2021
Pretty straightforward question: My friends and I have access to a laser cutter and we are making a word clock. Thus I was wondering if anyone knew of a LaTeX font compatible with laser cutting such as this
Or if there is any clever way to create them in TikZ using a drawing outline I would be fine with that too.
Thanks in advance for any help!
if you're willing to trade time and energy for more control, you can certainly design your own font, or set of letter-like vector graphics. An easier option would be to use one of the many stencil-like fonts available with friendly licenses. Here's something I did with a rather random font obtained from dafont.com. If you look harder than I did, or maybe spend a few bucks on licensing a more professional font, you'll probably be able to obtain results that are even closer to what you want.

You almost certainly want to use a modern stencil font in LuaLaTeX with the fontspec
package.
If for some reason you were forced to use PDFTeX for this, the LaTeX Font Catalogue has a list of the 8-bit fonts already available for legacy TeX. However, you don’t have a publisher who’s still forcing you to use legacy tools in 2020.
