This project aims to list recommendations to optimize typography characteristics to produce wooden movable types by Router CNC. In the fundamentation of this search we approach concepts, history and technical aspects in the use of wooden movable types and design of letters, as well as means of productions in the 19th century, when started the massive production of wooden movable types. This way, we came to a theoretical basis of new technologies, materials and contemporary processes in Brazil in the 21th century. In the development of this search, we show some simulated experiments, that demonstrated some projectual possibilities and a few associations of formal attributes of the typography characters and the letters designs present on the brazilian book “O Método de Ensino Coletivo de Caracteres tipográficos, O MECOTipo (2018)”. We also established a few parameters of letter design and productive processes, to improve wooden movable types. These parameters can be find in the fundamentation, as well as in the methodology of this search, and they were acquired through bibliographic revision and the experiments we made. This work shows that the production of wooden movable types by Router CNC is a process that is developing yet; that the understanding of general variations of the letter design can help at the understanding of this kind of production and it’s optimization; that studies and new processes must be deeper, bringing news possibilities to fabricate wooden movable types.
