The two words

Seen from the front

Seen from the side

All caps — capitals share one flat band of height, which is what lets the two words line up Hearts on the ends — a heart before and after both words, so the ends of the row read as a heart from either side

Letterform

Heavy faces work best: every stroke has to survive being intersected with the other word, and a hairline serif can cut a letter down to a few crumbs.

Size

Letter height

Plinth

Each letter of one word only meets the letters of the other in its own little column, so the pieces are separate solids floating in a row. The plinth is the rounded base that joins them into one printable object — at 0 mm you get loose pieces. It overhangs the letters by half again its own thickness.

Detail

How finely the letters are sampled. The surface is built from little square steps; at Fine they land well under a 0.4 mm nozzle on a 60 mm letter, so they disappear in the print.
