Commune Energy is a Japanese startup dedicated to bringing renewable energy to rural and depopulated areas, for instance by importing/installing EV charging stations. The full brand kit was developed by Studio Kaki in cooperation with branding collective nowthen. It shows a strong emphasis on community collaboration, symbolised by cooperating colourful shapes, and it includes a logo showcasing Easy Grotesk (designed by Alexander Rütten and Olivia Wood of Ligature Type, available from the TypeMates) .
On the website, the logotype is combined with headlines in Barlow Condensed (designed by Jeremy Tribby) and Zen Kaku Gothic New (designed by Yoshimichi Ohira) and Noto Sans JP (see Source Han Sans) for Japanese content.
