My embarrassing lack of knowledge and ignorance of furniture and art history rears it’s ugly head. Thanks for the save, and great suggestions!

It’s intriguing that P22 FLLW Eaglefeather and Galette are used in the Next Modern Home furniture example, given that those fonts are in the Art Nouveau style and the furniture looks to be more in the Mid-Century Modern style. For this era perhaps fonts like Aviano Slab, Brevia, or something Swiss would work more appropriately.

Art Nouveau is very unique and its fonts are historically used in more decorative, flowing, curvy contexts. Although, it is a curious adventure to explore other contexts where Art Nouveau fonts might be a good fit.

This article certainly got me exploring the Typekit library!
