Visual Identity And Website Design For A Digital Magazine
Salud is a digital magazine focused on modern reflection, presenting stories that unfold thoughtfully and intentionally. The studio developed a visual identity and website that aims to convey analog warmth through contemporary design. The project utilized off-whites, washed-out blacks, and a rich typographic system to create a reading experience that feels human and inviting. The design avoids sharp digital interfaces in favor of a softer aesthetic that enhances reader engagement, ensuring a space that breathes and invites exploration. Features like oversized headlines and a classic editorial grid rhythmically organize content while maintaining a curated feel. The magazine's structure encourages readers to connect articles by theme or mood through an innovative tagging system.

Identity System For A Significant Art Museum
MASP, the Museu de Arte de São Paulo, sought a revitalized identity as it prepared for the opening of a historic expansion in 2025. The design system developed by the studio pays tribute to Brazilian modernist design while ensuring the identity can evolve into the future. The updated wordmark and new graphic elements connect the museum’s architecture and enhance its role as a cultural landmark. A modular layout system was introduced to streamline its website, making it more intuitive and accessible. Additionally, a typographic system was customized to offer flexibility in expression, while motion designs inspired by Lina Bo Bardi’s architectural elements engage visitors dynamically. The launch coincided with the museum’s expansion, garnering significant media attention and reinforcing MASP's place as a proud symbol of São Paulo.
