Technically this is not a Farey series/sequence $F_n$ of order $n$, which is defined to be all fractions (sometimes restricted to the interval between 0 and 1) with denominator at most $n$. For example 3/8 is present but not 1/8. It's a recursive mediant subdivision. It's related in that in any three successive terms of a Farey sequence, the middle one is the mediant of the other two.

The curvilinear triangles which are characteristic for this type of plot are called hypocycloid curves. We can use the parametric equations on Wikipedia to plot these, like so:
x[a_, b_, t_] := (b - a) Cos[t] + a Cos[(b - a)/a t]
y[a_, b_, t_] := (b - a) Sin[t] - a Sin[(b - a)/a t]
hypocycloid[n_] := ParametricPlot[
x[1/n, 1, t], y[1/n, 1, t],
t, 0, 2 Pi,
PlotStyle -> Thickness[0.002], Black
]
Show[
Graphics[Circle[0, 0, 1]],
hypocycloid[2],
hypocycloid[4],
hypocycloid[8],
hypocycloid[16],
hypocycloid[32],
hypocycloid[64],
ImageSize -> 500
]

I've previously written about an application of hypocycloids here, and I showed how to visualize epicycloids here.
How to generate the labels is described here (also linked to by moo in a comment). I will simply provide the code.
mediant[a_, b_, c_, d_] := a + c, b + d
recursive[v1_, v2_, depth_] := If[
depth > 2,
mediant[v1, v2],
recursive[v1, mediant[v1, v2], depth + 1],
mediant[v1, v2],
recursive[mediant[v1, v2], v2, depth + 1]
]
computeLabels[v1_, v2_] := Module[numbers,
numbers =
Cases[recursive[v1, v2, 0], _Integer, _Integer, Infinity];
StringTemplate["``/``"] @@@ numbers
]
computeLabelsNegative[v1_, v2_] := Module[numbers,
numbers =
Cases[recursive[v1, v2, 0], _Integer, _Integer, Infinity];
StringTemplate["-`2`/`1`"] @@@ numbers
]
labels = Reverse@Join[
"1/0",
computeLabels[1, 0, 1, 1],

computeLabels[1, 1, 0, 1],
"0/1",
computeLabelsNegative[1, 0, 1, 1],

I looked up the Farey sequence on Wikipedia, out of curiosity, because I had not heard of it before. The Farey sequence of order $n$ is "the sequence of completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1 which, when in lowest terms, have denominators less than or equal to $n$, arranged in order of increasing size".
On that basis, you can generate the sequence as follows, for instance:
ClearAll[farey]
farey[n_Integer] := (Divide @@@ Subsets[Range[n], 2]) ~ Join ~ 0, 1 //DeleteDuplicates //Sort
So for instance:
farey[5]
0, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1
I am not sure how these sequences are connected with the figure you showed though.

I've previously written about an application of hypocycloids here, and I showed how to visualize epicycloids here.
How to generate the labels is described here (also linked to by moo in a comment). I will simply provide the code.
mediant[a_, b_, c_, d_] := a + c, b + d
recursive[v1_, v2_, depth_] := If[
depth > 2,
mediant[v1, v2],
recursive[v1, mediant[v1, v2], depth + 1],
mediant[v1, v2],
recursive[mediant[v1, v2], v2, depth + 1]
]
computeLabels[v1_, v2_] := Module[numbers,
numbers =
Cases[recursive[v1, v2, 0], _Integer, _Integer, Infinity];
StringTemplate["``/``"] @@@ numbers
]
computeLabelsNegative[v1_, v2_] := Module[numbers,
numbers =
Cases[recursive[v1, v2, 0], _Integer, _Integer, Infinity];
StringTemplate["-`2`/`1`"] @@@ numbers
]
labels = Reverse@Join[
"1/0",
computeLabels[1, 0, 1, 1],
"1/1",
computeLabels[1, 1, 0, 1],
"0/1",
computeLabelsNegative[1, 0, 1, 1],
"-1,1",
computeLabelsNegative[1, 1, 0, 1]
];
coords = CirclePoints[1.1, 186 Degree, 64];
Show[

I looked up the Farey sequence on Wikipedia, out of curiosity, because I had not heard of it before. The Farey sequence of order $n$ is "the sequence of completely reduced fractions between 0 and 1 which, when in lowest terms, have denominators less than or equal to $n$, arranged in order of increasing size".
On that basis, you can generate the sequence as follows, for instance:
ClearAll[farey]
farey[n_Integer] := (Divide @@@ Subsets[Range[n], 2]) ~ Join ~ 0, 1 //DeleteDuplicates //Sort
So for instance:
farey[5]
0, 1/5, 1/4, 1/3, 2/5, 1/2, 3/5, 2/3, 3/4, 4/5, 1
I am not sure how these sequences are connected with the figure you showed though.

Technically this is not a Farey series/sequence $F_n$ of order $n$, which is defined to be all fractions (sometimes restricted to the interval between 0 and 1) with denominator at most $n$. For example 3/8 is present but not 1/8. It's a recursive mediant subdivision. It's related in that in any three successive terms of a Farey sequence, the middle one is the mediant of the other two.

If it wasn't for the very good answers you got, I would have voted to close this question as it gives no details, no definitions no code and shows no personal effort. Please, next time try asking good questions.
