Project Overview

North Brew is a fictional coffee roaster used to explore how a small brand can feel premium without feeling cold. The identity covers the logo, packaging, cups and stationery.

The Challenge

Coffee shelves are crowded with loud colours and illustrations. The concept needed to stand out through restraint while still feeling warm and approachable.

Creative Direction

A compass-star mark points to the idea of finding your direction each morning. It sits on a limited palette of matte black, off-white and deep navy, with generous spacing and quiet typography so the packaging reads clearly at a glance.

Typography
Clean geometric sans-serif with wide letter-spacing for the wordmark; simple supporting text for labels.
Color
Midnight black, off-white and deep navy.
