The Festival of the @adc_germany is Germany’s largest annual celebration of excellence in the creative industry, showcasing trends and bringing people together. However, the event lacked a distinctive identity beyond the overarching ADC corporate design. Our goal was to elevate the festival’s profile within the ADC’s brand architecture by creating an iconic brand system. Iconic, because the system is built around the club’s most recognisable symbol: the nail. A mark of impact and excellence, the nail has become one of the most prestigious trophies in the creative industry. As the central element of the festival identity, the nail establishes a cohesive visual system, creates structure, and drives recognition, while still leaving room for fresh creative expression each year. It was created in close collaboration with expert ADC members. Thanks to Nils Zimmermann @studiochapeaux , Heike Wilhelm @jvmbrandidentity , Rüdiger Götz, Henning Skibbe @character.type , Oliver Griep @zuzy_studio , @katrin_oeding and Burkhard Müller @mutabor_official #adc #brandidentity #branding #creativeimpact

Late Serif is our modern serif. With only five style you might consider it a small type family but than again it covers everything from text to headline. Italics included. . #lateserif #earlysans #sansserif #contemporarytype #contemporarytypefaces #typeface #typefacedesign

Some letters naturally embody fluidity and rhythm, a trait inherently facilitated by the overall design of Early Sans. Also, trial fonts are a thing, I heard. . #earlysans #sansserif #contemporarytype #contemporarytypefaces #typeface #typefacedesign

Early Sans™ speaks and writes many languages. The shape versatility is huge across Latin, Greek and Cyrillic scripts. All stay true to the same basic design principles. #earlysans #sansserif #contemporarytype #contemporarytypefaces #typeface #typefacedesign

Beim Typostammtisch am 3. April hören wir 7 Kurzvorträge zu ganz verschiedenen Themen. Einen der Vorträge hält Henning Skibbe @character.type , er spricht über Schriftmuster und Details die keiner sieht Schriftmuster faszinieren den Type-Designer Henning Skibbe seitdem er 2007 seine Diplomarbeit darüber geschrieben hat. Dabei begleitet ihn die Frage, wie man die Eigenheiten einer Schrift nachvollziehbar und verständlich macht, ohne immer wieder dieselben ausgetretenen gestalterischen Pfade zu beschreiten. Hennings Kurzvortrag ist eine selbstkritische Betrachtung seiner Schriftmuster aus 18 Jahren Schriftgestaltung. Donnerstag 3.4., 19 Uhr in der @filmfabrique_coworking im Oberhafen, kostenlos und ohne Anmeldung #typostammtisch #typostammtischhamburg #designstudiohamburg
