The Dancing Plague of 1518

The Dancing Plague (or Dance Epidemic) of 1518 was a case of dancing mania that occurred in Strasbourg, Alsace (then part of the Holy Roman Empire) in July 1518. Numerous people took to dancing for days without rest, and, over the period of about one month, some of the people died from heart attack, stroke, or exhaustion.

Image credit: Engraving of Hendrik Hondius portraying three women affected by the plague. Work based on original drawing by Peter Brueghel, who supposedly witnessed a subsequent outbreak in 1564 in Flanders.

Audree type system designed Nikola Djurek with Marko Hrastovec for Typonine

Audree is type system with several hundred styles. Choosing between fifteen different serif shapes, two construction models, high or low contrast, and adding stencil or inline effects results in unique, expressive variations of Audree’s letterforms.

Applying different parameters to same basic shapes isn’t new, but Typonine.com’s online application allows you to access each possible permutation and create your own version of Audree. The value isn’t only aesthetic, but also didactic — by experimenting with serifs, construction and contrasts, one can learn how these variables affect the shape of the letter.
