It's similar to a dovetail joint but square.

Square would be a box joint. Although Leigh Jigs calls their template a
finger joint jig, it is actually box joint jig.

Finger joints are pointed.

It's like biscuit cutter, it does not cut biscuits, it cuts oval slots.

Wait, what? Dang. I just ordered one for my wife's Christmas present.
Guess I'd better cancel! :-)

Nope. Not always, the tines on a box joint are called "fingers", and
that is why "box joints" are also known, traditionally, as "finger joints".

The method, and nomenclature, predates the modern factory produced
incarnation, and internet/Goggle, by a long shot.

Here's one of our favorites discussing his "box joint" jig:

Identical to a box joint, only usually called a "finger joint" when used
to join two boards together, end to end.

Most paint grain trim material these days is finger joint stock.

i have seen some very intricate joints used for joining boards end to end
i wonder if those are considered finger joints

they require a special machine/cutter

A special machine/cutter, like a router and router bit?

If you want to join boards end-to-end, and you have a 4 inch wide board?
End-to-end joining is also critically dependent on alignment, you cannot
tolerate a kink at each joint.
I envision a special machine with a gang of saw blades, a long fence
and clamp for the board, that raises the blades through the work
to make a cut.

The router-bit solution will work for a shallow cigar-box, and take a jig
or well-appointed router table to make accurate joints.

Ok, but I consider a router/bit a subset of table/router/bit or
jig/router/bit. The point being that it need not require a "special
machine".
