Forward Festival Identity Evolves as a Never-Resetting Design CircusThe Brand Identity · Jun 17, 2026
The Brand Identity features Graz-based studio Zwupp’s evolving identity for Forward Festival 2026, which continues the studio’s decade-long collaboration with the event. Built around the 45° slant of GT Planar by Grilli Type, the system evolves annually, combining modular templates, motion, and typographic consistency across Frankfurt, Berlin, and Vienna. The design reflects a balance between experimentation and continuity, likened by Zwupp to a travelling circus that never resets.
