Author's note

Couteau Suisse by Claude Derieppe is a free kitchen-utensil dingbat font that joins spoons, forks, blades, and cups to chunky knife-handle shapes with uneven hand-drawn outlines. Each symbol reads like a compact homemade gadget.

A playful cookware brand or neighborhood cafe could use these symbols for logos, packaging, and menu graphics. They also suit recipe cards and food-festival posters, where the utensil motifs can become part of an illustrated border or emblem. The informal drawing style suits audiences who enjoy food-themed graphics.
