kitchenSet
Not Your Type · Hongshuang Fu · 2025
A single-style display typeface drawn from the outlines of kitchen utensils — forks, knives and glass rims — by Beijing-based designer Hongshuang Fu.
About
Created on a kitchen table in winter 2022 and released through Not Your Type in 2025, KitchenSet takes physical cutlery and glassware as its formal source material rather than any typographic tradition. The result is a loose, irregular letterform system that reads as genuinely handmade rather than simply distressed. Coverage is limited to basic Latin, numerals and essential punctuation, positioning it firmly as an accent or headline face for playful, craft-led projects.
Classification
KitchenSet is constructed from the shapes of physical kitchen utensils — forks, knives and glass rims — making it an experimental, object-based display typeface with no conventional typographic classification.
