ResearchDuring my in-depth research, I explored various factors from different countries that influence the flavor of food, such as cooking time, ingredient choices, temperature, spices, and more. These factors collectively shape the final taste of a dish. As a result, I incorporated these variables into my typeface design, using the form of the font to reflect these influences.

Printed CollateralsI developed a range of printed collateral, including event tickets, name badges, wristbands, and promotional materials. Each piece carries the visual language of the brand from the abstract marine-inspired graphics to the clean typographic system,creating a cohesive identity across all touchpoints.
