Felt logo (in green).
I. Identity
The Felt brand was crafted with the explorer in mind.

The simple inspiration of a marbled composition notebook, and the colors of vintage maps were used for the identity of the brand.
Marbled notebook / map texture.
The Felt logo was crafted using Roslindale, designed by David Jonathan Ross.

DJR wrote a feature on Felt recently. He writes, "The logo is massive, taking up a huge amount of real estate on the website’s homepage. Ho used Roslindale Display Condensed Black as the basis for the logo, tweaking the spacing and letter t to produce a pleasing parallel curve between the last two letters."

Read more of the feature here.
Felt logo in brand guidelines.
The primary brand palette for Felt utilizes “Felt Green” the most, with bright accent colors of orange, yellow, and navy as supporting colors. Gray and white also help to round out the system for clarity.

II. Typography
The Felt brand uses two core typefaces—GT Alpina, and Atlas Grotesk.
Typeface setup.
GT Alpina is the main display typeface, with the Felt brand mainly utilizing the “light” weight. It is a workhorse serif typeface with a vintage, yet modern look.

Atlas Grotesk is a super legible sans-serif typeface mainly used for supporting text— body copy, metadata, and secondary headlines. In some instances, Atlas Grotesk can be used as a display typeface in all bold, as seen in the page before this.
"The world needs more maps" in Atlas Grotesk.

III. Website
The Felt site was created as a teaser and a pre-cursor to a more fully-fleshed out website, so we had a bit of free-reign to play around with the "hugeness" of this identity.

Miscellaneous website examples.
Blog website examples.
A CMS back-end was developed for the Felt blog, filled with over 20 custom fields for writers to insert new posts.

We also collaborated with talented illustrator, Fanny Luor, to design an illustration system for the Felt blog.
On May 31st, 2022, Felt launched publicly. I worked with them on a refreshed website for their launch.
