P22 Bifur Font Family

Bifur was originally designed by poster artist A.M. Cassandre. This Art Deco type design was issued by the French foundry Deberny & Peignot in 1929. Even upon it's original release and promotion, suggestions on how not to use Bifur were presented. As with most highly decorative display faces, the use should be selective and used sparingly. Of course the layout of "THIS IS NOT THE WAY TO USE BIFUR" in repeated paragraph form has become a famous design and appears in many surveys of design history.
