30 TDF Days

In October 2020 we released Finoteca, a bouncy display font with a set of stylistic dingbats: little faces and figures built from letter shapes.

To introduce them, for thirty days we showed one face a day with a name and a short line set in a different Tour de Force typeface. This small square booklet collects all thirty, from Mr. Wise Guy on day one to Super Model on day thirty. Every page names the font used for its line.

The font behind the faces

Finoteca (in English it would be Niceteca) is a display font for nice people. By design it is one happy, bouncy font with a lot of charm and positive feeling. Use it on product labels, in books for kids, on movie posters or as indoor graphics for your restaurant. It is available in a single weight, Regular, and includes a set of stylistic dingbats with the faces and persons shown here.
