Swehl (pronounced like “Swell”) is a LA-based startup hoping to transform breastfeeding from a cluttered and confusing experience to a bright and cheerful one for new parents.

Human NYC (with art director Katherine Phil) put together a brand “inspired by LA sunshine”, pairing pastel colors with super soft type to set Millennial and Gen Z moms at ease. A particular highlight of the brand is the cosmetics-inspired packaging. [Edit: see the comments for more credits.]

The star typefaces – Cheee (OH no Type Co.) in the logo and Caslon Rounded (Commercial Type) in headlines – really get along well. The relationship between the two hyper-rounded typefaces feels like that of two old friends of different sizes and shapes. The quirky geometric sans Roobert (Displaay) joins the group for support at text sizes.
