> BLOCK TYPE

I've always felt a huge interest in block, square typefaces. Usually based on square forms with geometric cuts that make it possible to recognize and read each different character, these typefaces offer great layout possibilities.

Respectively, two block and square typefaces featured on the picture.
Novum, designed by Mike Cina and available at youworkforthem store.

Mandrax, a portuguese typeface designed by Mário Feliciano and used recently on the MusaBook, a showcase of portuguese illustration. This typeface is available on FelicianoTypeFoundry
