01 - The Brief

Create a custom typeface that represents personal growth and experience in Stellenbosch, South Africa, with the final typeface applied to a wine bottle.

02 - The Strategy

Translate the gates encountered throughout Stellenbosch into a visual language representing boundaries, growth and new possibilities. The typeface was constructed on a block-square grid and refined using circular geometry to create a balance between structure and movement.

03 - The Deliverables

The project included the development of the custom typeface, typographic system and wine bottle label, with the letterforms becoming the central visual element of the packaging.

04 - The Outcome

A personal typographic identity that captures a journey of growth in Stellenbosch, transforming everyday architectural details into a distinctive typeface and wine packaging application.
