When shaping Nippon's visual tone, the agency aimed to preserve the simplicity, calmness and depth of meaning inherent in matcha making, building a brand that felt loyal to its roots yet unmistakably modern - "an identity that carries the ritual of the past into the rhythm of today", Emrah summarises. To reinforce this balance the team went for a type pairing of Maison Neue Extended and Eros: "one confident, bold, and contemporary; the other, a subtle nod to traditional Japanese calligraphy", Emrah continues.
