Audoux – Display font

Audoux is a vernacular geometric typography inspired by the typefaces recurrently found on the famous pediments of Languedoc-Roussillon cooperative wineries. A veritable revival of architect Roger Audoux’s designs, the typeface pays homage to the man who designed nearly a dozen cellars as original as they are rational in their construction, just like the typefaces used on them.

La Audoux is a cast iron display inspired mainly by the characters emanating from the Sérignan and Cazouls-lès-Béziers wineries (Hérault). The Sérignan cooperative winery was founded in 1935. The buildings were designed by architect Roger Audoux, a founding member and the first president of the cooperative. Given the originality and rationality of the construction, Roger Audoux went on to design other wineries in the department, notably those in Cazouls-lès-Béziers, Maureilhan, Autignac, Laurens, Montady and Vias.
