North Kiln
A wordmark and a label system for a two-person ceramics studio, built so each glaze batch can be named and printed on the studio floor.

Client
North Kiln Ceramics (fictional)
Role
Identity, wordmark, glaze labels
The brief
North Kiln sells small batches. Every batch has a different glaze, and the studio wanted the labels to say which kiln firing a bowl came from.
The identity
A narrow wordmark set from a rounded grotesk, stamped instead of printed on bags, and a label grid with a slot for batch, glaze and firing date.
Outcome
Labels come out of a thermal printer in the studio. The stamp is the only part that never changes.
