01 — The Brief
Lakáva / 2025

The brief called for a label design that feels premium enough to serve as a gift, remaining highly attractive without feeling repetitive over long-term coffee subscriptions.

Simple.
Honest.
Friendly.

Abstract Illustration
02 — Visual Identity

Driven
by Art

The packaging system is explicitly designed to act as a frame for dynamic, organic illustrations. I utilized a combination of Flux, Freepik AI (Magnific), and custom model training to generate the abstract graphics.

Everything was then meticulously fine-tuned and assembled in Figma to perfectly match the color palette and mood of the Lakáva brand.

03 — Brand System

Two Voices.
One Story.

The typographic system relies on extreme contrast. A structural display face provides the brand's personality at a glance, while a geometric sans-serif guarantees legibility at small sizes on the physical label.

Notes of dark chocolate, hazelnut, and subtle citrus. Perfectly balanced for everyday espresso.

Perfect Harmony

The contrast is immediately apparent when used together. Libel Suit draws the eye instantly with its strong, structural forms, commanding attention on the shelf.

Meanwhile, Hanken Grotesk steps back to deliver the technical origin data cleanly and quietly. This hierarchy ensures the packaging remains both beautiful and highly functional.

One Canvas. Endless Blends.
