LePerco is an artisanal and independent coffee roaster located in Narbonne, in the south of France. Its network of ethical and organic coffee producers around the world as well as its rigorous selection and quality control throughout the entire production chain enables LePerco to create unique and exclusive products.

LePerco's roasting activity was historically linked to the record shop activity of its founder, Pierre-Marie Camper, who brilliantly combines the two worlds, enhancing coffee tastings with atypical musical discoveries. While relying on LePerco’s unique DNA, marked by the coffee/music duality, the new visual identity focuses on the roasting activity.

LePerco’s graphic universe revolves around patterns that have been created using two main geometric shapes. These shapes can evoke the leaves of coffee trees, coffee cherries and roasted beans, a symbol of LePerco’s total control over the production chain. The primary typography of this visual identity is Milanesa Serif, from the Sudtipos foundry, supported by various members of the Ballinger series by Signal.

The Road Safety Authority (RSA) is an agency of the Irish Department of Transport, established in 2005 to make Irish roads safer. Its remit includes driver testing and licensing, the development and enforcement of driver regulations and vehicle standards, research, education, outreach, and advocacy.

Ballinger and Spectral used together for a book series conceived and designed by Karl Toomey (KTOOMS). In the author’s own words:

If you’ve ever wondered how far it is to Tipperary, I may have the book series for you. Created during lockdown, and using the 1912 hit tune It’s a Long Way To Tipperary as inspiration, this is an eight-part walking tour cobbled together from home using Google Maps and Wikipedia. Kicking off in London (home to both myself and the song’s fabled homesick Irishman), our tour heads west across England, Wales and the Irish Sea before plodding inland to our final destination, Tipperary in Ireland.

The images show the first realized volume, “Stage 01: London to Oxford”, with seven more in the making.

This is the first exhibition in The Magdalene Series, a programme of exhibitions, interventions, performances, and events curated by Rua Red Director Maolíosa Boyle.

Design by Rossi McAuley at Distinctive Repetition.

Cochran is the leading electrical engineering and construction contractor in the Pacific Northwest, and the region's largest woman-owned business. The rebrand focused on the trust the firm has built up within the construction industry over 60 years of executing Seattle and Oregon’s largest and most complex projects. A hint of classic midcentury modern references the firm’s midcentury origins. The new brand was rolled out with a new website and a series of new mobile-first microsites providing vital information to workers in the field. It also included a series of labels and packaging for the company's annual holiday gift of wine.
