Cucina Nera
Fonderie Bretagne · Lucas Le Bihan · 2024
A display typeface from Lucas Le Bihan's Fonderie Bretagne, shaped by the poetic and elemental character of Brittany.
About
Released in 2024 by Lucas Le Bihan under Fonderie Bretagne, Cucina Nera sits within a body of work defined by coastal and geological metaphor. The foundry's language frames its typefaces as traces left by primitive forces, suggesting a design sensibility that is expressive and place-rooted rather than neutral. Suited to editorial and identity contexts where character and atmosphere take precedence over utility.
Classification
The name and foundry context suggest a display-oriented typeface; the page content is largely poetic and does not confirm structural details, but the blackletter-adjacent 'Nera' naming and display sizing imply expressive display use.
