Berlin-based designer Stefanie Leinhos signs the identity of the 2025 edition of Losing the Plot, a festival organized by the the Comic Gewerkschaft, a union connecting comic book practitioners in Germany. The festival features round tables, talks, and workshops.

Leinhos uses the freshly released NaN Archy as the unique font for the whole identity. She mostly uses NaN Archy Off in its lightest style, with the alternate one-story a. The small bolder weight artifacts characteristic of Archy (its punctuation, the connections between curves and stems…), rhythmize the texts and echoes the illustrative language used in it, evocative of scribbles and ink stains.

Visual identity design for Maison Guinguet, a chocolate maker based in Duras, in the Lot-et-Garonne region of southwest France. Known for its orchards, vineyards, and culinary heritage, the region is central to the brand’s story, from its origins in prune production to its evolution into artisanal chocolate. The identity reflects this local savoir-faire and the gourmet culture of the area.

The branding was designed by Plus Mûrs. The logo and the branding are set in Romie Regular (designed by Margot Lévêque).

Scottish studio Freytag Anderson write about the packaging and brand identity they designed for Woven Whisky:

Visually, we stripped away the clichés. The custom frosted brown apothecary-style bottle is tactile and unexpected. Labels are minimal, each release numbered, named, and paired with its own distinctive graphic—an expression of the blend itself. The core range stands apart with a more pared-back identity, anchoring the brand while the limited editions build intrigue and momentum.

Luzi Type’s Spezia is used on the front of the packaging in all caps, with some details on the back in lowercase. On the website, Spezia also appears in its SemiMono form.

Curl Maven is a holistic hair, beauty, and wellness brand founded by Gabriella Strano, a globally recognized expert in wavy and curly hair care. The platform offers personalized consultations, educational resources, product recommendations, and expert guidance to help people embrace and care for their natural curls.

The identity for Curl Maven uses Red Moon Rising for the logo. Orange Squash is the primary typeface for headlines. The website additionally features Outfit for navigational elements and selected subheadings. Occasional handwritten accents are rendered in Constane, adding a personal, crafted feel to the brand experience. Smaller type is rendered in the visitor’s default system font. In the screenshots here, that’s Segoe for body text, while Arial is used for the footer.

Viridian Ecosystems is an Oakland-based environmental services outfit specializing in data-driven land restoration and natural capital strategies.

The logo features a monochrome abstract sign figuring a kind of crossroads but also a zoomed-in typographic detail, where the bowl of a p and q meets the stem. The all-caps wordmark is set in a slightly modified American Grotesk Black, noticeable with its high-waist R and narrower N.

Study Hall chose the recently-released NaN Rage Beau as the main typeface for the identity, in two weights. The choice of a slab serif from titles to running text is a refreshing one in today’s landscape dominated by sleek sans serifs for corporate text fonts. Beau’s rounded terminal bring some warmth to the identity. Coupled with the beige and almost-black colours and the grain in the photos, it gives a nostalgic kodachrome-technicolour-era to the whole.

… and a version in English.

The TT Ramillas font was used to create the identity for The Maltings, a modern coastal hotel in North Norfolk, England.

Based in Nashville, Tennessee, Consider the Wldflwrs is a fine jeweler specialized in designing and hand-crafting engagement rings or custom pieces. They also perform jewelry restoration and repair.

For their communication and website, the company chose to use Ceraph, designed by Emma Piercy and soon to be released by Sharp Type. It is paired it with Sequel Sans for body text; the monospaced typeface used for buttons and links is DM Mono. The logo combines roman caps and italics from ITC Novarese.

Emma Piercy began Ceraph in 2018 as an experiment, a sketched word featuring whiplash forms and flared serifs. “It slowly evolved into a more ambitious and refined project. I wanted the typeface to embody grace and strength, and this aim was the north star throughout its development. This is my first serious undertaking of typeface design, and it took a year on-and-off to settle on the concept.” This typeface comes with several unexpected ligatures for the uppercase, such as the C and the O inside, the H and E sharing a stem, etc. By setting their headlines in capitals, Consider the Wldflwrs play with the magical features of this typeface.

The logo in ITC Novarese was introduced together with the new typefaces as part of the 2023 redesign.

Re:Beach is the City of Oceanside’s (CA) Coastal Resilience Competition, bringing together three design teams from around the world to develop innovative sand retention pilot projects. One team and their winning design will be selected to move into final engineering and permitting at the completion of the competition.

YuliaWave is a fashion brand that blends the sensuality and strength of the modern woman. Maria Doreuli’s CoFo Gothic suits so well with its asymmetrical details that bring an unusual friendliness.

The Clinton Young Foundation was first established in 2014 in the Netherlands with the target to raise public awareness of the legal case of Clinton Young who had wrongly been sentenced to death penalty in 2003. In 2020 the foundation officially opened a second office in Austin, Texas. In 2021 Clinton’s case was vacated by the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals and in 2022 he finally was released from jail on bond. While, after twenty years on death row, his case eventually found a good ending, the foundation broadens its scope and keeps on working for all those wrongfully convicted of capital murder in Texas.

The website featured in this post uses two typefaces: Blaze Type’s geometric sans-serif Area in its Extended cut for reading text and functional items – and Big Daily, a serif designed by Alaric Garnier as eye-catcher for the headlines. Published by Production Type, Big Daily was mainly inspired by small newspaper print. For the time being, Big Daily is available in its Short variant whose name-giving feature are the extremely short ascenders and descenders. Further declinations are in the pipeline, though. What makes the appeal of Big Daily are the pronounced yet sturdy stroke contrast and the swift dynamic of its Italics.

Italian design studio Bluelabs designed the new website of Museo Cappella Sansevero. Like the museum, the website – and its typeface selection – aim to evoke the baroque era and its ideas.

From Bluelabs (translated from Italian):

Those who at least once in their lives have visited the Sansevero Chapel Museum know it: every corner, decoration or sculpture on which the gaze rests, sparks wonder. We wanted to transfer this halo of beauty and mystery even within the digital pages of the Museum and, to do so, we dived for months and months in the study of the Baroque. We have re-emerged with a surprising and accessible site, in which aesthetic choices accompany a complete and immersive browsing experience. Just like a real visit to the chapel.

(...)
Baroque is spatial liberation, liberation from conventions, elementary geometries and static. That’s why we chose to translate this liberation also into the pages of the site through an open design, based on plastic shapes and curved lines, spatial sinuosity, scenographic accentuation and evocative plays of light and shadow. The templates of the various sections present dynamic and asymmetrical solutions that generate a new and surprising composition.

The latest Goodbois collection embodies an ongoing journey towards a minimalistic mindset, seamlessly mirrored in the selected typography. It also spotlights a heightened awareness of our planet’s resources.

The lettering on most of the apparel is based on an upright style of Oakley and echoes the form of small rocks, akin to our prominent backprint where diverse stones harmoniously stack, symbolizing mutual support.

As for the second option, we've reintroduced the cherished classic Caxton. This reaffirms our brand’s identity and aligns with themes centered around the organic origins of nature’s elements.

To achieve the optimal cohesiveness for this collection’s CI, we’ve selected the timeless and neutral typeface Neufile Grotesk. This choice contributes to an overall design that is both contemporary and enduring

SKKY Partners is a private-equity firm focused on investing in and building consumer businesses. Launched by Kim Kardashian and Jay Sammons, SKKY makes investments in consumer products, hospitality, luxury, digital and enter­tain­ment.

We (WØRKS) were asked to create a visual identity for SKKY that could communicate alongside legacy insti­tu­tions in this space, but in a way that reflected Kim’s taste and the aesthetic world that she has created with her other brands. The color profile of the identity was inspired by patinas found on natural materials like travertine and concrete, signaling growth and the passage of time. We created a bespoke wordmark and paired it with the sophis­ti­cat­ed Neue Haas Unica to create a rec­og­niz­able identity that is at once austere and optimistic, exem­pli­fy­ing its founders and their approach to investing.
