A brand that was born in Munich in 1397 and inaugurated the Munich Helles style, Spaten has crossed time. Can a more than 600 years old brand connect with today\u2019s audience? Can the medieval be contemporary?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Invited by the studio Ana Couto<\/a>, we designed an exclusive typeface to star in a visual identity inspired by the neomedieval.<\/p>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

We believe that successful corporate typefaces balance expressiveness with functionality. They need to have proprietary elements to trigger brand recognition. For Spaten, we took the letters of the logotype \u2014 with its distinctive \u2019S\u2019 \u2014 and expanded them into a complete typeface. Every letter, figure and diacritic carry the Spaten story.<\/h4>\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n

\u201cRefine your admirable side\u201d was the guiding thread that gave consistency to the project. \u2018To refine\u2019 means to perfect and improve: people, qualities and truths over time. The more time passes, the more refined it gets. This movement is present in the variable typeface, which moves between the traditional and the contemporary with the precision of a slider, offering a lot of flexibility to brand communication. In promotions and retail messages, the version with low thick and thin contrast provides strength and impact, while at the other extreme, the thin, sculptural strokes \u2014 evident in \u2019C\u2019, \u2019S\u2019, \u20193\u2019 or \u20197\u2019 \u2014 reveal the richness and sophistication of this historic beer.<\/p>\n\n\n
