I've had this idea for quite some time. With all of the assets we created to make LetterMpress, I thought it would be fun to make an app that displayed time with random wood type. We got to the stage of an actual working prototype (as shown in the video below).
The Wood Type Clock displays the time with wood type that is reversed (sorry purists). You can set the display to show time with random typefaces, or choose from several typefaces. You can also change the background: type cabinet, galley tray, or black with reflection.
