The Blackpepper Studio (TBP) is an award-winning multidisciplinary design and experiential Studio creating engaging and meaningful design experiences and identities for brands within the fashion, luxury, arts, wellness and lifestyle industries. Our work is primarily informed by storytelling with a strong exploration of editorial design, expressive typography and colour all approached from a contemporary point of view.
In designing our website, one of our prominent visual languages was centred on the website’s typography with Charlottenburg by Kilotype leading the pack. Its high contrast gave us the perfect bold editorial feel we needed while its wide O’s served as image containers for some visually sensitive concepts.
To balance out Charlottenburg’s razor-sharp serifs, we used Neue Haas Grotesk Display and Freight Display as body fonts. To add a personable touch, Altesse is used as an accent font throughout the website predominantly for writing names. The logo is based on Neue Helvetica Condensed.
