Design system

Logo, colour, type and voice for Nuova.Studio.

The system is built around one idea: machine speed and human judgement. The mark, palette and typography all serve that split.

Primary mark

23.44°

Dark surface mark

Nuova.Studio

Logo

Never separate the halves.

The mark is one circle split in two: ink for people, rust for the machine.

The split is always tilted 23.44 degrees. Never round it, straighten it or redraw it.

Use the light mark on bone and the dark-surface mark on ink.

The system should feel editorial, precise and operational rather than decorative.

A quiet base with one warm operating signal.
