Design Principles: Type Journal 17 - Packaging



Clipper tea uses a very similar font to the Pear Preserve, it is comparable to Bodoni however it seems to have more of a handmade element to it, the edges are not as straight.  Apart from the varying line weights, the ‘R’ makes me think it is an edited Bodoni or very similar.  Type going vertically up the left hand side is a clever way to fit more information in yet at the same time use this in all tea ranges so that it is clear they are a collection or brand so to speak. The font underneath it appears to be more of a humanistic font even though it is written in capitals this doesn’t make it over powering and actually its bulkiness supports the more dainty capitalized main font.
