You can read up on the whole process, but basically the idea is to blow up fonts to large point sizes, print and then cut them out of some kind of material (MDF, cork, plywood, etc.)

It’s great for showing off fonts in really big sizes, though, as with using old CDs for coasters, having holes underneath the glass or mug might not be a good thing.

Having said that, I think the at sign works really well, closely followed by the hash and the asterisk.

They’re definitely a bit sexier (can we use that word in relation to drinks coasters? Too late, I have) than the RSS coasters, cool though they are. The mousepad coasters don’t even come close.

This set of 16 RSS-themed coasters will not only keep nasty glass and mug rings off your furniture but also advertise one of your favourite pastimes – browsing web sites via Google Reader or Bloglines.

A complete set will set you back $60, and is made up of blue and orange versions of the standard feed symbol, + symbol, “XML”, “RSS”, “R” and two “S” tiles plus two black “2.0″ coasters.
