“Born to be ‘BAU’DOL” is the first original song by twin VTubers Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard, a.k.a. FUWAMOCO. The song was produced and written by Japanese composer PandaBoY. The graphics for the single art are by SAWTOWNE, while the logo was designed by saku39.

The logo uses a variety of fonts from the Adobe library. Funkydori Bold is used for “Born to be”, with pawprints added to the O’s. “BAU” is set in Manteiga, while “DOL” uses Olivita with a pon-de-ring replacing the O. Finally, FUWAMOCO is set in AB J Gu, a largely kanji-based font from the Font1000 collection.

Nuances is a playful yet serious compendium of answers to big climate questions regarding the protection of forests, indigenous people, technology and food and other related matter. The book, written by Nurit Bensusan and illustrated by Cairo Ayres and Francisco Bronze from É Grande Circular was published by Editor Mil Folhas.

The illustration style is well matched with the smoothness of Manteiga. Body copy uses Swear Text, a typeface that carries the same witty spirit of both the headline face and illustration styles.

The infographic look makes it easy for the readers to make their own path throughout the pages.

BigBi is a carioca household name. A juice house with bright fruits hanging on the walls, tasty Açaí, and the friendliest service in the city.

We redesigned their identity using an eclectic mix of typefaces. An organized street fair vibe was our intention in the choosing of typefaces.

Starting from the body copy, Signo provided the right personality: quirkiness with the light inverted contrast yet readable and sturdy enough to carry the load. Rio is very much connected to its Portuguese heritage and the fact that it was made by the super talented Portuguese type designer Rui Abreu brought it home even more. It’s used in the big menu panel and printed matter.

Our own Manteiga was used as the main display typeface, for setting titles in the menu, posters and elsewhere. Then we threw some ingredients to the juice, adding the usual suspects for this type of work, like the House Signpainter collection (Showcard for numbers, Casual for the small dotted lines), Felipe Calderón’s Hollie Script, Erik Spiekermann’s HWT Artz, as well as some other 80s inspired graphics, set in Skia, which has a Lithos vibe, a typeface that was overused in Rio’s late 80s/early 90s scene.

The logo is the main element and provides contrast. We wanted the remaining elements to vibrate, feeling like they belong to the same idea but not being the same at all times.
