Work in Progress / Olive Oil Labels for Krk, Croatia

A sophisticated set of six olive oil labels, each representing a unique variety of olives from the stunning island of Krk, Croatia. The rectangular form of the olive grove and the incredible S-shaped road that cuts through the grove twice served as inspiration for this innovative design. This unique element adds a modern twist, symbolizing the seamless blend of nature and human ingenuity.

Each label features a striking black background adorned with golden circles, signifying the specific type of olives. The golden accents, created using the hot foil technique, stand out majestically, while the subtle black circles represent the other olive varieties, adding a layer of depth and intrigue. This meticulous design not only reflects the premium quality of the olive oil but also pays homage to the rich heritage of Krk’s olive groves.

Experience the fusion of traditional craftsmanship and modern design with these exquisite labels, embodying the essence of one of the world’s most beautiful islands.

 
 
 

Rosso di Leo

The label is designed using drops of the wine.
Unique and very special for an equally special “reserve.”
The label takes advantage of the unique, intense, and vibrant color of the wine made from the indigenous Tuscan grape “Foglia Tonda.” For the first time, thanks to a very limited production, the wine itself is applied naturally, with drops on the surface of the cotton paper. This special paper, with its cross-fiber structure, absorbs the wine spectacularly, creating a unique design effect, aided by nature itself.
Each individual label is different, crafted by hand, one at a time. In this way, all the passion, warmth, and love are conveyed in each single example of this precious liquid.
The applied wine, partially protected by a natural antioxidant derived from Italian lemons, gradually changes color over time. Thus, the age and aging of the wine can be read directly from the label.

The wine is crafted from the beautiful “Foglia Tonda,” an ancient Italian grape known for its rich, full-bodied character and deep, vibrant flavors.

On the capsule, the male symbol is oriented towards the female symbol, representing harmony and mutual respect between genders. This detail adds a unique and thoughtful twist to the design.

Typeface & Font DNA / Typography Book & Stencil

TYPEFACE & FONT DNA is a historical-theoretical and practical research dedicated to one of the most important discoveries in history, aimed at providing reference points for future Italian visual communication designers who face themes related or indirectly related to the topic.

The project is divided into three main sections. The first section offers a historical overview of the transformations in the concept of transmitting messages in its visual form using the invention of writing.

The second section analyzes typefaces by taking as a reference one of the most iconic forms of Roman monumental writing, comparing it with the lapidary forms present in one of the Florentine churches. By analyzing, comparing, and seeking a universal reference point responsible for the evolution of typographic form up to the present day.

The third part aims to design and create a tool that encompasses all the typographic rules necessary to develop a typeface, in an intuitive but not too obvious way, with the aim of educating future designers who are blinded by technological disposition and artificial intelligence.
