A friend shared this on facebook
I thought wow, all squares, neat. I wonder if you could do the whole alphabet as squares. I would guess yes but not sure.

If search block fonts you can find at least fonts that look similar. Only some Letters are not good to store books.

I've posted the image on Dafont's forum to see if they might know of a match

I have been getting acquainted with Fontforge on a different project but thought that I could do with a little more practise - so I played around with the square font design theme and the results can be found in the attached font file...
Although not a complete font it does contain all alpha-numeric characters and a smattering of punctuation marks to play about with.

While it was in my head (and just to get it out of my system) I have added a slightly refined version of this Square font with rounded corners.
