Makina is a fashion brand for women – ambitious, curious, aware. The idea for the branding is based on portraying a woman as a person with a rich, complex character, which can not (and should not) be trivialised. Identity thus creates a visual and linguistic frame inviting the audience to interpretation, motivates them to fill it with an image according to personal preferences.

Clean typography does not distract, and its high readability complements the experimental treatment of the brand’s language. The slim and solid structure of Studio reflects the strength and subtlety of femininity emanating from Makina.

The music video, written and directed by the singer, keeps the same typefaces.

Pitok Motor Museum is an independent small motor museum with many stories and vintage motorcycles restored with passion.

It was created to tell stories. 
Old motorbikes, abandoned, recovered, stripped down and re-dressed with passion and hard work.
 These are stories that come back to life after being abandoned, because caring, instead of throwing away, requires much more effort but teaches us to love more sincerely. We took care of the design and implementation of the brand and digital communication.

We used Canela in the regular and italic variants for all of the design of the site. Miso was used for the museum logo.

Rose Red Youth's second EP, I Miss Summer, is about childhood. It’s about being attached and vulnerable, and what it feels like to set memories aside and start growing up. It was inspired by the fear that comes along with your early twenties, when the plan that was laid out for you your whole life comes to an end and it’s time to start making your own decisions and make a life for yourself.

I Miss Summer is a heartfelt and dramatic statement perfectly supported by a bold font as Roslindale Display Condensed, conveying the emotions associated with these songs. One of the songs on the EP, “Chill Pills”, was published with a lyrics video.

Dagne Dover is a New York-based and women-owned handbag company. The brand’s new logotype uses Trois Mille (3000), an upcoming release by Marc Rouault with several adjustments to the letterforms to perfect the word shape. Marc also drew a customized G with a crossbar for Dagne Dover’s new logotype, which will also be included as an alternate in the upcoming release of the typeface family.

The new logotype can be seen on digital environments and advertisements, and on out-of-home graphics alongside major cityscapes. The slogan “Bags that get it” is set in Nimbus Sans Black Extended.

As part of the overall redesign of Art Monthly – UK’s leading magazine of contemporary visual art – Fraser Muggeridge Studio used a combination of TypeBy’s Klub 02 Bold and Commercial Classics’ Caslon Ionic for the new logo nameplate.
