Workshop Coffee is one of the UK’s leading specialty coffee roasters, known for its clean, sweet flavour profile and quiet pursuit of quality. George Cosby Studio was brought on to help redefine its brand positioning, visual identity, and packaging system.

For the new identity they chose the typeface Moulin by Commercial Type.

Neatlab is a small embroidery studio founded and run by Maximilian Höper in Innsbruck, Austria. What started in 2023 as a passion project grew out of his earlier career in software development and became his full-time work in early 2025. The brand focuses on combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design.

Precise, high-quality embroidery made by hand in his atelier, using sustainable, certified lyocell threads. Neatlab’s process goes from custom design sketches to digital embroidery patterns and careful machine stitching, with final hand finishing to ensure quality. The brand’s mascot, a goat, reflects qualities like authenticity, agility, and a connection to the Tyrolean mountains.

The logo is set in a mix of ALT Picaro and That That New Pixel.

Poesia no Centro is a poetry festival promoted by Megafauna, a bookstore in São Paulo, Brazil. The visual identity and scenography allude to the city’s signage and urban cacophony, anchored in the use of the Plaak typeface by the type foundry 205TF, also present in the bookstore’s visual identity.

The graphic design consists of a simple structure of boxes and vertical bars with moving typography superimposed on the work of guest photographer Mauro Restiffe. In the scenography, the lines become industrial shelving structures, the boxes become animated LED signs and the photographs become large-format posters.

The program booklet uses FF More and Acumin for text.

King & Partners developed the brand identity for Four Seasons Naples, built around the concept Impressions of Paradise, expressed through bespoke botanical illustrations and tactile design details. The Merchant Room is a refined New American Brasserie by two-time James Beard Award–winning chef Gavin Kaysen, inspired by the elegance of Old Florida. The Merchant Room branding is set in Romie Regular and Italic, designed by Margot Lévêque.

In July 2016, Australian electronic group the Avalanches released their second album, Wildflower.

While the front cover has no type at all, except for a sticker with Jersey M54 for the band name, all-caps Arnold Böcklin for the album title, and ITC Franklin Gothic for additional text, the typographic party takes place on the back: it features a different style for each track on the album, with embroidered letterforms. Most of the song names are based on fonts, with or without modifications.

Vinyl record label

Barkas has designed the identity for Amundsen Sports’ latest campaign, “Hero’s Hide”, which reinvents the merino baselayer for a new generation of adventurers. The campaign celebrates Amundsen Sports’ philosophy of merging traditional craftsmanship with modern innovation—an approach reflected in both their products and visual language.

For “Hero’s Hide”, the unique Dual-Surface SkipStitch Knit technology creates an ultra-light base with a distinctive openwork pattern, combining warmth and breathability. This design pays homage to the refined Norwegian mountain lifestyle, reimagined for those who embrace adventure year-round.

The campaign’s visual identity is set in Store Norske Leif Mono, Store Norske Magi Mono, and Store Norske Magi from Skriftkompani. These typefaces introduce a utilitarian, contemporary edge, echoing the technical sophistication and rugged quality of Amundsen’s garments. The pairing of these helps solidify a brand narrative that is both rooted in tradition and built for the future.

Formula E is a single-seater motorsport championship for electric cars, the electric pendant to Formula 1. This championships focuses on sustainability and innovation in electric vehicles by reducing the footprint of the races through diverse means and compensating the remaining emissions (though I still wonder how the cars, racers and staff are traveling around the world).

For their rebranding with the launch of their ninth season in 2023, Formula E commissioned a script font, FE Torque, made by lettering artist Rachel Joy Price based on the new logo she designes. It’s used for main titles and to accentuate some words. A custom cut of NaN Jaune was also developed. Named FE Sans, it’s used for all other typographic materials.

The custom cut puts aside the signature touching/closed apertures of Jaune and brings calmer and more traditional structures to some characters such as a monocular a and g, an e with an horizontal bar, etc. The resulting font family is used for all the branding and communication of the FE brand, from the subtitle of their logo, their website, the on-site communication and signage during the races, social media, infographics, etc.

FE Sans also comes with dedicated titling alternates which bring notches – drawn almost like ink traps – to the stems of the capital letters.

See the full case study on the website of lead designer Tom Myers.

Tisse is a Marseille-based kombucha brand. Their workshop is both a place of production and a laboratory of experimentation, where they imagine drinks with singular flavors and original aromatic profiles that reflect the region that inspires them. With ingredients sourced as locally and organically as possible, Tisse offers kombucha that is naturally low in sugar, unpasteurized, and delivered sustainably across Marseille.

For the redesign of their brand, Tisse collaborated with Image Format to express both the craft and the contemporary energy that defines Tisse. The visual identity balances grounded qualities with a bold, modern edge, capturing the dual character of kombucha: rooted in tradition yet alive and fresh.

To achieve this, they turned to two typefaces by Marc Rouault available at Sharp Type. Trois Mille, with its high contrast and striking presence, gives the brand a contemporary voice. Tarnac Sans, a slab serif with a historic feel, anchors that energy with authenticity and craft.

TIBE has crafted a new brand identity for the Arbeiderpartiet (Norwegian Labour Party), blending historical reverence with contemporary clarity.

The headline typeface is a customised version of Store Norske Jernskrift, a revival and elaboration of a long-lost piece of Norwegian typographic heritage. Jernskrift draws its inspiration from the distinctive numbers found on Norway’s first official car number plates, introduced in 1929. For decades, these numerals were a quiet yet omnipresent part of Norway’s visual culture: seen on every road, ingrained in daily life, and emblematic of Norwegian modernity in the twentieth century. Over time, it faded from view, nearly forgotten—a “sleeping beauty” of Norwegian design history.

Due to the Skrift i Oslo project, Jernskrift has been carefully researched, revived, and reimagined for contemporary use. Its reappearance in Arbeiderpartiet’s identity is both poetic and poignant, bridging eras and reconnecting Norwegians with a subtle but powerful symbol of their shared past. The typeface’s geometric forms and industrial spirit evoke progress and resilience, while its story is one of the beauty that can be rediscovered in visual traditions. Jernskrift create an identity that is both forward-looking and deeply rooted in Norwegian heritage, celebrating the Labour Party’s enduring connection to Norwegian industry and the people and history of Norway. Supporting text is set in GT America.

Analog photography and wedding assets designed for a romantic celebration in the Italian Dolomites, featuring typefaces from Bolzano-based CAST (Cooperativa Anonima Servizi Tipografici). The design employs the complete Arkit family alongside the distinctive Xanti Typewriter series—including Arkit Bomb and Arkit Regular for bold statements, complemented by Xanti Typewriter in Thin, Book, Book Italic, and ExtraBold weights. The typographic choices reflect both the industrial heritage of South Tyrol and the timeless romance of an Alpine wedding.

Un Posto has established itself as Turkey’s first brand dedicated exclusively to focaccia, bringing authentic Italian street food culture to İzmir with a singular focus that sets it apart from competitors. The focacceria’s identity, crafted by Milan-based studio Velvele, draws from genuine Italian references while avoiding the tired visual clichés that often plague Italian-themed restaurant branding.⁠ They present the project as follows:

At Un Posto, every layer speaks its own dialect. As the naming reflects the simplicity of Italian culture, the menu encourages guests to use everyday Italian words when ordering. Each element in branding is thoughtfully put together to let their focaccia shine proudly, in the Italian way.⁠

Our approach is clear: We turn concepts into experiences.⁠

Bodega Borràs is a Catalan winery that blends traditional craftsmanship with contemporary visual storytelling. Its identity, designed by Opisso, features a bold logotype set in Triomf, a display serif by Gerard Sierra (GS‑Type).

Originally inspired by letters found in a 1930s Spanish poster, Triomf brings sharp contrast and geometric rhythm to the brand. It evokes Mediterranean signage and vintage wine labels while asserting a modern, graphic presence.

Applied across multiple brand materials, Triomf gives Borràs a visual voice that feels grounded in tradition yet distinctly contemporary.

TT Supermolot Neue is the signature font of SaiPa. From Wikipedia:

Saimaan Pallo (SaiPa) is an ice hockey team in the Finnish Liiga. They play their home games at Kisapuisto in Lappeenranta, Finland. SaiPa has many nicknames, such as “The Sputniks”, “Sputnik”, “Miracle of the East” and “Eastern Giant.”

The all-caps brush script seen in this application and the one shown below is Flood.

Pulp & Grind is a cafe at Sydney Domestic airport serving healthy food and drinks. They approached Harley Johnston Design to update their brand as part of a store refresh with Chee Lam Design. The old store looked like a generic cafe, lacking any point of difference. Upon going through a brand workshop it was clear that the care and thought around healthy organic food and ingredients was not being conveyed as part of the brand. Led by Pulp & Grind we came up with the brand idea around ‘Healthy food made for the morning’. Acai bowls are a big part of the offering at Pulp & Grind and as they are popular in the eastern suburbs beaches this aesthetic influenced the creative direction. The logo shows a sun rising over the water and is pared with a logotype that matches the feel. The dark purple colour is drawn from Acai and is paired with banana, oat and berry colours.

Food and drink photography was created with a sandy background and styled with the healthy natural ingredients that go in to each item.

Orleans was used for the logo wordmark (with a customised ampersand). Marr Sans Condensed was used for headlines, Scto Grotesk A for body copy, and Pitch Sans for supporting captions.

TT Rounds Neue Compressed is the typeface used for the visual identity of the Razz Burger company. The all-lowercase logo is custom drawn.

Razz Burger is distinguished by a unique concept. They offer its visitors who value individuality and creativity to cook their burgers themselves, using fresh and high quality food.

Faune by Alice Savoie and Knif Mono available at A is for are used for the identity of Giovedì, an Italian-Asian restaurant in Honolulu, Hawaii.

The visual identity was designed by Onward Creative who write:

Located in the historic heart of Honolulu’s Chinatown, Giovedì offers a unique fusion of Italian classics with Asian-inspired flavors. Created by acclaimed chef Bao Tran and partner Jennifer Akiyoshi, this multi-room dining destination features a vibrant central bar, indoor seating, and a charming patio. The name, meaning “Thursday” in Italian, pays homage to the weekly dinner parties the duo hosted in New York on their one night off—where many of the menu's signature dishes were first conceived.

The logotype was meticulously customized from the Holise typeface by Inès Davodeau. Leveraging the natural symmetry of the central V, Onward skewed the O and E to create a dynamic visual balance.

The Chinese typeface used for the stacked letters next to the dragons is yet unidentified.

Fruit Riot, a sour candy brand under Beyond Better Foods, sports a punchy wordmark set in Ohno Softie by OH no Type Co. – a fitting choice for a name that practically demands a squishy, and energetic treatment. With its bulbous forms, exaggerated curves, and lively rhythm, Ohno Softie captures the sensory overload of a sour candy experience.

The packaging and website include Alyc from Ultra Kuhl for supportive squishiness, and FontPanda’s Think Thick for bringing the irreverent and informal vibe even further.

This was an April Fool’s joke, there is no sour broccoli candy available!

In 2025, Barcelona-based activist streetwear brand Top Manta unveiled a bold new identity, designed by Aleix Font. The rebrand aims to strengthen the brand’s visual language while reinforcing its deep-rooted commitment to social justice and migrant rights.

At the heart of the new identity is Manter Black, a bespoke typeface crafted by GS-Type. Designed specifically for the Top Manta rebrand, this display typeface plays a key role in shaping the brand’s visual identity and communication system.

Manter Black is more than just a typeface – it’s an expression of intercultural activism, resistance, and urban energy. Its design draws inspiration from African wax prints, incorporating jagged structures, geometric patterns, and rounded counterforms to create a bold, rhythmic, and expressive aesthetic. This visual language reflects the ethnic and social essence of Top Manta, reinforcing its mission through typography.

Beyond its aesthetic impact, Manter Black is a highly versatile graphic tool, designed for use across various mediums. It enhances the brand’s storytelling, amplifies its messages, and serves as a powerful symbol of dignity, equality, and creative empowerment.

Manter Black has been designed to work seamlessly alongside HEX Projects’ HEX Franklin XCondensed XBold, which is used across communication materials and in key brand applications where a stronger tone is needed. Both typefaces share a common structure, weight, and metrics, ensuring a cohesive and balanced visual system.

HEX Franklin is a modern reinterpretation of the iconic Franklin Gothic, a grotesque sans-serif typeface from the early 20th century. While retaining the character of its historical reference, HEX Franklin presents a more refined and contemporary aesthetic, making it ideal for reflecting Top Manta’s intercultural ethos.

In the new identity system, the XCondensed XBold variant of HEX Franklin was chosen to complement Manter Black, optimizing visual impact in tight spaces and reinforcing the brand’s powerful and unapologetic voice.

For body text and longer-form communication, the system incorporates Neue Haas Grotesk, a versatile sans-serif that provides clarity, neutrality, and readability. This typeface ensures a seamless reading experience, balancing the bold expressiveness of Manter Black and HEX Franklin with a functional yet sophisticated typographic foundation.
