Design Roundup: Structural Packaging and Swiss Grids Dominate Week 39
In ISO week 2026-W39, a design roundup highlights various minimalist approaches in packaging, branding, editorial design, and typography. Brand Brothers developed a modular identity for Node, featuring a lively wordmark and blind-embossed stationery. OlssønBarbieri crafted sculptural packaging for Stereoscope, drawing inspiration from Chinese cosmology. Compagnie 3B's performance dossier was designed by Florian Cornut, who applied Swiss grid principles. A minimalist identity with geometric logotypes was created by Molnár Péter for North of Normal. SAVVY STUDIO reimagined culinary publishing for QUARTER PAST NOON into a collectible suite. Additionally, Pangram Pangram’s Formula Condensed typeface focuses on horizontal compression, while Sungsik Kim designed dose, an interface for a coffee maker. SAVVY STUDIO also worked on Adam Pendleton’s monograph layout, and Paprika Design established a campaign identity for Théâtre Aux Écuries’ 2025–26 season. Finally, Rajesh Rajput introduced the Cosmic display sans-serif, and Underline Studio created an identity for Halo Brewery.
