Scope and Contents

All surfaces of eight wooden cubes are printed in different typefaces with single words which can be turned to "create weird, unique, zany, brilliant expressions... The cubes are building blocks for composing clever prose." The typeface for each of the words is well thought out and could stand alone as minimalist poetry in several instances. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
