Quotes

  • The brand speaks about efficacy and material science, but it also lives in moments that are intimate, human and close to the body.
  • The typography therefore had to feel precise without becoming clinical, and warm without drifting into cuteness.
  • The role of design is not to dominate attention, but to support a more natural relationship between person and product.
  • A typeface was needed that could express focus, structural clarity and a grounded physical presence – qualities essential to the brand’s shift from street-culture aesthetics toward a more contemporary, attitude-driven identity.
  • Together, these constraints reorganise ‘random anxiety’ into a system that can expand, repeat and carry dense information without losing clarity.
  • The symbols function more as objects than letters. Framing them this way gives the brand a more tangible, physical reading – something closer to components than typography.
