The Block Font
Author's note
The Block, Joseph Jeantet's free art nouveau display font, leans on tall, looping letters and soft squared curves that feel both ornamental and slightly toy-like. Its rhythm comes from repeated hook-shaped turns and rounded corners, giving the font a playful period flavor without becoming fussy.
That makes it a natural pick for boutique packaging, cafe signage, poster headlines, album covers, and book jackets where a short line can carry the mood. As a free font, it works especially well for title cards and logos, because those curling joins and compact rounded shapes give even a few letters a distinct decorative pull.
