MiniBlock Pro

MiniBlock is a mosaic-style typeface built from rectangular modules that, when used, create a visual texture in which letters interlock both horizontally and vertically to form intricate shapes. One of its distinctive features is the vertical alignment of certain letters—such as L, T, and Y—with the stems of other characters. Its primary purpose is ornamental and playful, placing legibility in the background.

The type system includes multiple versions that expand its creative possibilities. MiniBlock VF, MiniBlock Pro, and Pro Rounded offer 758 glyphs, advanced OpenType features, integrated borders and ornaments, full compatibility with Mac Roman and Windows 1252. MiniBlock 3D is a layered version composed of three OpenType files Miniblock-Front, Miniblock-Side, and Miniblock-Bottom. MiniBlock Titles delivers greater weight for high-impact headlines, while MiniBlock Borders includes decorative frames and ornaments that are directly accessible from the keyboard.
