Independent font foundries are a unique platform to discover fresh typography that stands out from the conventional offerings of big commercial brands. One such foundry breaking the mould is Fincker Font Cusine, a bespoke company created by type designer Julien Fincker.
Steeped in family tradition, Fincker Font Cuisine is a unique foundry born out of Julien's extensive experience in the industry. There are countlessoptions on the market, but Fincker's bespoke offerings of retail and custom designs provide"everything the typographic heart desires" thanks to Julien's expert personal flourish.For Julien, launching his own foundry was a slow and steady process, taking time to curate his skills before taking the plunge.
At the core of the launch is the foundry's charming logo inspired by Julien's rich family heritage. Fincker Font Cuisine's logo draws upon the traditional design of the early 20th-century delicatessen butcher’s shop owned by Julien's family."For the time it was a really playful and high-quality corporate design," Julien says. To this day, the design remains iconic, becoming its own tourist attraction in Colmar, France.
"The symbol of the butcher's shop shows my great-grandfather and his brother serving pork parts. This playfulness with the silhouettes has always fascinated me. That's why I stylistically reduced the design and also used silhouettes to represent myself. But I serve letters, which is a bit more appetizing," Julien adds.When it comes to designing fonts, Julien has a unique analogy that inspires his craft, drawing parallels between cooking and creating custom typography.
