Niceshit is a Barcelona-based animation studio. For their tenth anniversary, they asked Ufficio to redesign their visual identity. Their design pairs Onlysans by Daria Cohen (distributed by Contemporary Type) and Niceshit Non-Regular, a custom typeface designed by Fer Cozzi.

From Ufficio’s portfolio website:

From the start, we understood their work needed no extra visual layer. What we wanted to amplify was their voice. Our goal was to capture two things that were central to their work method: the collaborative team and the off-screen ideas where every project is born.

So we proposed building a custom typeface from the handwritten alphabets of all three founders: a flexible system with multiple variables per character, designed to work across different contexts and scales without losing identity.

The direction made us completely rethink the process. It was our first time designing a typeface, and we were doing it in the most unorthodox way possible. With no visual references, we let the conceptual bet guide every decision. Doing what's easy to say and hard to actually do: designing from the idea.

The Niceshit Non-Regular was then paired with a more stable sans serif of equal weight and spirit, one representing process, the other delivery. The logotype and phonogram ‘nsh’ came later as a synthesis and timeless symbols of the brand.

Archivo de la Memoria Trans is a cultural space founded by María Belen Correa, for the protection, construction and vindication of the Argentine Trans Memory.

Archivo de la Memoria Trans brings together the images and stories of trans women over 50 years, preserving the memory of those who suffered abuse by the police, the abandonment of the State and the hostility of the society that attended, indolently, a silent genocide.

This graphic material is part of the communication designed for a documentary series directed by Agustina Comedi and Mariana Bomba. In the key of a documentary essay, the series is structured through four axes, each one featuring one of them: they tell us about carnival, affections, exile and organization; and, through their personal experiences, they open the door for us to understand the reality of an entire community.

Cintia, Edith, María Belén and Trachyn survived. They share the intimacy and complexity of those who faced injustice and pain with humor and creativity, but also with organization and community.

Archivo de la Memoria Trans is an archive that resists oblivion and silence, a chosen family that meets in an act of memory and resistance.

BT Bárbara (Fer Cozzi, Bastarda Types) and Helvetica are used throughout.

Matrices, mujeres del diseño. Capítulo I: Origen y Activismo (“Matrices, women of design. Chapter I: Origin and Activism”) is an exhibition that was inaugurated at the Kirchner Cultural Center within the framework of the Working Women’s Week “We Move the World”, organized by the Ministry of Women, Gender and Diversity and the Ministry of Culture of the Nation of Argentina on March 4, 2020.

From the design point of view, ZkySky studio sought to convey the power of the wonderful works of these women under a contemporary gaze. The communication is based on the photographs of the designers – unmistakable samples of the time – and their articulation with the typography, the protagonist of the identity of the exhibition.

The catalog can be downloaded from the website of Fundación IDA.

The symbol of the brand Maloka is the representation of duality through the sun and the moon. The typographic part of the identity is bold, angular, and preserves a formal relationship with the brand symbol.

For Monifue, our chili pepper sub-brand, we work with the cosmogonic story about the birth of chili according to the Uitoto Murui ethnicity. For the Monifue brand typeface, which will also be used in the future Maloka sub-brands, we worked closely with Bastarda Type and Fer Cozzi. We used their BT Bárbara typeface, a more subtle font than Harbour by Gareth Hague which we have chosen for Maloka – the relationship through the angular endings.

Additionally, BT Bárbara’s designers added characters typical of the Uitoto script to the typographic set, so we can use words from the culture while maintaining and respecting their writing.

All the elements that integrate Maloka’s identity are loaded with indigenous cultural significance. Our goal is that when the indigenous people of the Amazon see the brand of their products, they can see the connection and the symbolisms that it contains and relate them to their cosmogonic vision.

Pure & Naive is a wine bar and bistro, located in Kiev, Ukraine.

For its identity, it uses Steinbeck (The Temporary State) for all texts, paired with several display typefaces from Tomorrow’s collection: Nostra (in both Sett and Stream) and Tomasa.
