they're a collection of sentences designed to have a representative set of english sounds, while also being sensical. they've been used in linguistics and in testing phones and voice over ip. here's some examples:

  1. The birch canoe slid on the smooth planks.
  2. Glue the sheet to the dark blue background.
  3. It's easy to tell the depth of a well.
  4. These days a chicken leg is a rare dish.

Seems like a couple people have independently stumbled onto this shape, but because the faces are not uniform, I don't think it's going to get the Persi Diaconis seal of approval.

Feels like you should be able to do further triangular subdivision to a d24 to get something fair, but the sides are all going to get pretty obtuse at that point. Edit: Nope, I'm an idiot, that would still create two different shapes on the faces in a 2:1 ratio.
