World DesignCapital
The World Design Capital competition takes place every two years. It recognizes cities that specifically use design to improve the quality of life of its residents. We developed a visual identity that effectively reflects the global scope of this project while expressing its main idea of understanding design as a power that provides structure and organization.

The starting point for developing the typeface was the form of a stadium. The association with sports and competition is directly linked to the main idea of the project: promoting, comparing and honoring top performance.
