goal
Generate an image of match boxes that can be used as a “base image” to typeset for a Type Specimen** on the Romana font.
I want the matchboxes to be in the style of Matisse cutouts and in the color palette of the children’s book Chicka Chicka Boom Boom to match the rest of my type specimen. I want the match boxes to be laid out in a knolling** fashion (overhead view point where items are arranged in 90 degree angles).
**A Type Specimen is like a font menu where you as a designer curate and highlight the personality of the font and how it can be used.
**“Knolling is simply the process of arranging objects so they are parallel or at 90-degree angles. It helps keep everything organized and when photographed creates clean, noticeable images.”
