Identity and website for @office.jcfa — translating the familiar logic of the computer desktop into a digital workspace. The visual system reflects the studio’s approach to architecture: human-centred, precise and inviting. An understated design system places the projects at the centre, while colours drawn from the architecture itself reinforce and disrupt the otherwise pragmatic and systematic framework. The website moves between ordered structure and creative disorder, between didactic clarity and open exploration. Familiar desktop conventions provide an intuitive framework, while subtle interventions and moments of disobedience encourage a less linear way of navigating the projects. The result is a digital workspace that functions both as an archive and as an invitation to explore. ↪️ jcfa.ch Client: Office.JCFA — Julian C.

This one finally out. Typespecimen for @reseda_furniture — A typeface developed for the brand’s evolving visual identity. Based on Bell Gothic and its logic of clarity at small sizes, Reseda Gothic was designed as a versatile typeface for a wide range of applications — from headlines to long-form texts and short passages. To ensure performance at small sizes, ink traps were added. Custom Reseda “a” and “e” are used at larger sizes, while conventional shaping appear in body text. The overall weight was increased to strengthen presence, density, and confidence across the identity. The resulting typeface reflects Reseda’s core values: open and welcoming while balancing humanistic and geometric principles. Reseda Gothic was developed in close collaboration between @role.std — who co-developed the visual identity, @free_bernie — who designed the typeface and @outofthedark.xyz — who mentored and mastered the typeface. The logo as well the “a” and “e” were originally created 13 years ago by @eneatoldo and @raffinerie_ag The specimen was developed and designed by @role.std (@ycoco___ @lea.romana ) and was beautifully printed by @dza.druck Creative direction for Reseda: @role.std @eneatoldo Thirteen years of iconic campaign images by @shot_by_peter Photos publication @anja_wille_schori A big thank you to everyone who made this possible — and especially to @reseda_furniture for the trust, openness and thoughtful collaboration! by @role.std

Visual identity for the Swiss Grand Award for Design 2026. So many thanks for having us @swissdesignawards! With Office World, we explored design as a field shaped by both systems and intuition. It exists between objectivity and subjectivity, function and openness, rules and the moments that challenge them. Design is informed by structures and standards, but also by gesture, interpretation and the freedom to question established conventions. The publications are connected by an “earring”. It holds them together as a family, while allowing each piece to stand on its own. With no fixed order, they can be freely combined, rearranged and read in different constellations. Warmest congratulations to this year’s laureates Ursula Hiestand, @atelier_oi and @technoflesh on receiving the Swiss Grand Award for Design 2026 — and on their impressive bodies of work. And thank you to everyone who made this project possible: Head of Project: @annaniederhaeuser Editing, Project Coordination: @mille_pages Visual Identity: @nadine_wuethrich_ @role.std Graphic Design: @nadine_wuethrich_ @role.std (@lea.romana @ycoco___ @fiona_sgntr) Scenography: @parabase.eu Scenography labeling: @gilianecachin Code: @f_mahler Lithography: @marjetamorinc Print: @druckerei_odermatt_ag by @role.std

Out there in Zurich 🧿🧿🧿 Poster for @rehmannmuseum_laufenburg on the occasion of the exhibition Énergies fossiles. The exhibition moves through alchemy, mysticism, spirituality, animism, natural philosophy and healing practices — tracing forms of knowledge between ritual, matter, body and landscape. The lettering is based on early humanist and calligraphic references and was printed in two colours in silkscreen. Exhibited works by Pauline Marx @le_diable_degoutant in collaboration with Aëla Maï Cabel @aela.mai.cabel Karola Kauffmann #karolakauffmann, Maëtte Lannuzel @maettela Vica Pacheco @la_vica_ Tatiana Karl Pez @karlpez Jérémy Piningre @jeremy_piningre Frauke Roloff @rauchbrand and Nika Schudel #nikaschudel.
