Fond de riz · Cédric Rossignol-Brunet
A reinterpretation of Cassandre's 1937 Peignot drawn using Dr. Allen Vincent Hershey's 1967 single-stroke vector method, available in Light and Bold.
About
Hershey-Peignot merges two historical approaches to letterform construction: Cassandre's Peignot, with its distinctive blend of upper and lowercase forms into a single unified alphabet, and the single-stroke plotter method devised by Dr. Allen Vincent Hershey. The result is a two-weight display family that carries the original's geometric rigour through a radically different technical lens. It was produced using a tool developed by Luuse.
Classification
Hershey-Peignot reinterprets Cassandre's 1937 Peignot, a distinctive geometric sans with hybrid uppercase/lowercase letterforms, through the single-stroke vector method developed by Dr. Allen Vincent Hershey in 1967, resulting in a display face with an experimental, constructed quality.
