Brie in plan

An item from our festive cheese.

Slimbach’s warm reassuring calligraphic Sanvito announces this cheese (“caws” in Welsh) from Cenarth, Wales. Cenarth is a village in Carmarthenshire, on the border with Ceredigion.

The less formal handwriting-style type setting “Rich and creamy brie-style organic cheese” in English and “Caws organig arddull brie cyfoethog a hufennog” in Welsh is Adobe Handwriting Frank. The small text appears to be in Gotham Condensed. The Caws Cenarth logo is based on Palatino Bold.

The Caws Cenarth website and other items from them use the same typography, plus Avenir Next.

Quite delicious by the way.

Brie, at an angle.

Logotype

The Triennial of Bruges, Belgium, is an event dedicated to contemporary art, architecture, and the public space. In its current form it was first held in 2015, the fourth edition will take place in 2024. The Bruges Triennial (Flemish: Triënnale Brugge) invites artists and architects from around the globe to conceive of site-specific installations in its world heritage center. The ambition is to widen and to sharpen the public view on the city and to give impulses for the renewal and transformation of the public space and the way it is used.

Preparing for the 2024 edition, Bruges Triennial commissioned a new website from Glue, a communication agency specializing in digital formats, based in nearby Ghent. On a white background the website displays a generously airy layout. Under the menu header and a panoramic teaser image one can find several entries to upcoming and past editions. A simple yet efficient trick renders the layout more vivid: picture and text swap places from entry to entry.

The website uses Muoto by 205TF as the reading typeface and Kreuz Light by Production Type as the display font. Apart from the top-level navigation and the headlines, Kreuz was also used to set the logotype of Bruges Triennial, here in capitals from the Regular weight. Designed by Emmanuel Besse, it is characterized by the contradiction of its smooth, round inner shapes and its edgy outer shapes. And this is where the relation of typeface and layout gets very interesting: lending from the octagonal form of the letter O, the graphic designers deducted the form of the buttons and the hover effect applied to images.

Label and packaging design for Chilean coffee brand Café Luz. The brand imports its coffee directly from Colombia to Chile, where it’s carefully toasted by hand. This process leads to an outstanding flavor and a properly crafted product. The design was meant to be a colorful expression of Colombian’s coffee beans, flowers, and landscapes. The system consists of one unique packaging plus several labels for each of the different styles of coffee: exotic, decaf and premium.

Collaborating with Chicago’s famed Merchandise Mart and BIFMA (the trade association for business and institutional furniture manufacturers), One Design developed a positioning strategy and brand system for Confluence Chicago™, a new programming track for NeoCon 2020 (now slated to 2021) focused on bringing together creative practitioners from across multiple modes of design.

The creative process can be mysterious. But peek below the surface, and you’ll find universal truths that unite us all—unexpected lessons to be learned, unique perspectives to be shared, and novel approaches to be taken that could benefit us all.

Confluence Chicago™ is a three-day creative summit that allows participants to connect across creative industries and design disciplines to discover, explore, and find inspiration in the common threads that unite our work.

A vibrant, fresh, and contemporary design system was developed to attract and connect with a younger audience—pulling away from the corporate traditions of NeoCon’s past. A bespoke, modular typeface rounded out the system—embracing the concept of unification across multiple modes of creative practice to create surprising, unexpected results.

Muma is the first gin from Apulia distilled using pure sea water. Their new packaging was designed by Carosello Lab:

With a fresh, refined and free soul, Muma is the gin that embodies the Mediterranean lifestyle: sophisticated smells, strong sensations and an ongoing drive for freedom and discovery. The visual identity captures these features and brings them to a young international audience.

The new packaging uses two Bureau Brut typefaces: Ostia Antica and Traulha.
