Block specimen from NoonFont

A heavy geometric display typeface built from square blocks inspired by Kufic Square Arabic script, offered in Sharp and Round styles with variable and condensed variants.

About

Rather than following calligraphic tradition, Block constructs its Arabic, Persian, Urdu, Kurdish and Latin characters from modular square units, making it well suited to grid-based layouts, posters and book covers. Two distinct styles define its character: Sharp carries a severe, precise quality, while Round softens the same underlying geometry into something more approachable. The Pro package adds a variable axis and condensed widths to the family.

Classification

A heavy-weight display typeface constructed from square geometric blocks rather than calligraphic strokes, inspired by Kufic Square Arabic script. Its modular, rectilinear construction and two style variants (Sharp and Round) place it firmly in the geometric display category.
