Introducing the ALL NEW foundry, Fincker Font Cuisine...
After around six years of freelance type design, Julien Fincker is launching his type foundry "Fincker Font Cuisine". He is now living out his passion for letters and typefaces with his brand new website and own shop. From retail fonts to customised solutions, he offers everything the typographic heart desires.
Thanks to his French roots, he is also not averse to fine dining and sees many parallels between cooking and designing fonts. It is always the details in the preparation that make the difference - hence the name: Fincker Font Cuisine. | |

For the branding of his foundry, Julien has come up with a very special idea. It is based on Julien's family history. Since the early 20th century, his ancestors ran a delicatessen butcher's shop with a very special, and by the standards of the time, very elaborate branding. This was largely based on the work of the Alsatian artist "Hansi" (Jean-Jacques Waltz †1951), who created a symbol that has endured to this day with the silhouette of the two butchers (Julien's great-grandfather and his brother) in Colmar, France. Over the years, a wide range of advertising posters, packaging and business stationery were created, some of which are still in the family's possession today, even though the butcher's shop no longer exists.
To this day, a large sign with the silhouette of the two butchers adorns the façade of the former business house with the words "Fincker Frères Colmar" and has even become a tourist attraction. Font Cuisine's figurative mark is therefore a homage to this symbol and has been adapted and modernised.
The name Font Cuisine is also more or less a continuation of the butcher's theme and keeps the initials F.F.C. as well. "Fincker Frères Colmar" becomes "Fincker Font Cuisine". The simplified F.F.C. logo is used in particular for very small applications.
This closes a circle for Julien and it is a special honour for him to be able to continue the family story in a modified form, although in a somewhat more delicate craft. Luckily the butcher brothers will never know that one of their descendants has decided to stop eating animals. | |
 | | 👨🍳 First Release by Fincker Font Cuisine | | |
Nestor was created in parallel with the branding for his Fincker Font Cuisine. Nestor is a soft and narrow sans-serif typeface family. It gets its soft character by the rounded corners. Due to its narrow width, it stands very upright and also appears very self-confident and compact due to its closed forms. Its appearance is very clear and distinct. This makes it very interesting for strong headlines, editorial, packaging, branding and advertising.
