(01) Brief

A bicycle brand built like the bicycles.

Nordwerk builds steel touring frames by hand in Lucerne. Their old brand looked like a sports drink. The founders wanted something that would still look right on a frame in twenty years.

(02) Approach

Engineering drawings as a visual language.

The identity borrows from technical drawing: thin rules, dimension lines and a numbered parts system. Packaging is unbleached board printed in one colour, and every box doubles as an assembly guide.
