A studio for brands that refuse to blend in — since twenty-seventeen.

We build
brands with

not a pulse check.

§01 — Studio

A small thing with big teeth.

Five people who believe that the first three seconds of any brand are a promise.

We make identities that hold up when you shrink them, scale them, print them, animate them — and most importantly, when you live with them.

We work with founders, cultural institutions, and stubborn clients who have something unusual to say.

§02 — Manifesto

We don't do templates.

We don't do trend reports.

We do work that looks like the founder who made it — and nothing else.

How we work
in four movements.

N° 01 · LISTEN

The interview

Two days of questions. Founders, staff, customers. We take notes, not briefs. The real brief is hiding behind the stated one.

N° 02 · STRATEGY

A position

One page. One sentence that you can say in a bar without apologising. Everything after this document descends from it.

N° 03 · MAKE

The system

Type, symbol, color, voice, photography. Not a moodboard — a working system you can hand to anyone.

N° 04 · LIVE

The living brand

We stay around for a year. Because a brand isn't finished at launch — that's when it starts.

§03 — Recognition

Some prizes. More phone calls from founders.

Awards are nice. Repeat clients are nicer. Both tend to follow when you take the work seriously.
