Cheers to Paperlux Studio's branding design for Konetzki — an agency for beverages and luxury founded by Sommelier Jan Konetzk, expressing Jan's spirit: a relaxed unwillingness to compromise in quality and the highest appreciation of detail, all balanced by an unmitigated awareness of context and purpose. "Tell me who you are and I shall tell you what to drink" is Jan's motto, summarising pretty much what's this start-up about: focusing on wine expertise, but also offering premium services in related business areas to discerning clients.

Now that you have a glass of wine in your hand, let's talk about this premium kind of design. This typography-based design presents a stylish serif-type font with a variable stroke, ligatureless, and with a variation in small-cap K that makes this font Jan's signature. Respecting Konetzki's business cards, the white-on-white design enlights the typography with an iridescent tone.

Even though nowadays they use many different materials and methods for their projects. Enjoy the rest of the wine and scroll down ;)
