Mr Foodie

Mr Foodie was designed in 2015 and is a set of 825 icons divided into 7 groups – 109 fruit icons, 157 kitchen icons, 120 animal products icons, 100 veggie icons, 107 desserts icons, 127 beverages icons, and 105 other food-related icons. You can find a full, multicolour list of every icon with its name and corresponding character on a dedicated website, or in a pdf manual.

It’s a multilayer font, so every group consists of 4 fonts – Regular, Back, Front, and 3rd Colour. The Regular style is for single colour use only, and the Back, Front, and 3rd Colour styles are necessary if you want to achieve a multicolour effect.

Arrange three identical text boxes exactly on top of each other, apply layer font styles, and choose whatever colours you like. You’ll quickly discover that some icons don’t have 3rd Color style. This is not a mistake – a lot of things look good with just two colours.

Use it to make logos, illustrations, games, app icons, t-shirts, mugs, cooking books, restaurant menus, interior decorations, invitations, balloons, and any other project where fine crafted food drawing is needed.

You can buy it on MyFonts.

Creating the dedicated website was a great side project. Daniel loves to code from time to time, so making mr-foodie.recipes and the manual was a short escape from everyday book design.
