About CFF Maestricht
Maestricht is a highly personal script font, custom made from the handwriting of local film producer Jean-Paul Toonen. His handwriting is very dynamic, artistic and a tasteful blend between roman and italic style. Perfect for elegant and beautiful artwork. Maestricht is still under construction and not available for purchase yet. Contact us if you want to be informed about the official release.
‘Maestricht’ is a handwritten typeface originally written with a fountain pen. Local film producer Jean-Paul Toonen introduced the font in 1992. At that moment Maastricht was writing history, and the European treaty and its subscribers inspired Jean-Paul to design this handwritten font. René Verkaart is the Maastricht-based type designer who transferred the handwritten characters into a digital upgraded - smart - living font. The lettering is originally written with the most standard European fountain pen, The Meisterstück 149 by Montblanc in Vienna. That’s a deep black precious resin pen with gold-coated details, surmounted by the white star emblem and finished with a handcrafted gold nib. The Meisterstück evolved into Montblanc’s design icon. So, now there is also a font, handwritten in the Montblanc Midnight Blue Ink. And also digitally available in any other color.
