Block letter

/blɒk ˈlɛtər/noun
ELI5 mode

Block letters refer to a simple, bold style of uppercase writing or printing characterized by straight lines, no curves, and no serifs, making them highly legible from a distance. This style is often used in education for young children learning to write, in signage for clear communication, and in digital design for modern aesthetics. In contemporary contexts, it emphasizes functionality over ornamentation, contrasting with more elaborate scripts like cursive.
