Melbourne-based studio Your Creative developed a sensitive rebrand for Pentridge Prison Tours, balancing historical respect with contemporary design. The identity draws on the concept of 'living memory,' using archival research, a panopticon-inspired motif, and typefaces Inferi and Surt to bridge past and present. The result is a layered, empathetic visual system that honours the prison’s complex history while supporting its renewed role as a cultural destination.
The Brand Identity interviews Matthieu Salvaggio, founder of Lyon-based type foundry Blaze Type, about the studio’s collaborative approach to type design and its philosophy of fair, flexible font licensing. Salvaggio discusses the evolution of Blaze Type’s catalogue, the challenges of running a foundry, and the process behind complex releases like Sigurd. The conversation highlights the foundry’s commitment to accessibility, experimentation, and designer collaboration.
Sydney-based studio For The People created a playful, literary-inspired identity for Story Café, a coffee shop that celebrates storytelling and social connection. The design features illustrations by Ilana Bodenstein, a characterful logo, and a palette inspired by library cards. The identity uses typefaces Cooper BT, DM Mono, and Surt to evoke friendliness, literary heritage, and contemporary flair.
