About
Feroniapi began as Julienne Richard's redesign of Peter Wiegel's Feronia, commissioned for the identity of the Palais des Fêtes, an Art Nouveau dance hall in Strasbourg. Curved, sociable letterforms nod to the venue's architecture and to popular dance culture. The set carries frieze-pattern flourishes, fruit and vegetable dingbats and a set of post-binary ligatures.
