Experiments with Fonts : Deepti Kshirsagar

Creative, no comments

“Default fonts/ or standard fonts are those which are part of most software’s font library, and which never feature on designers list of favorite fonts. Fonts like Arial Narrow, Baskerville, Times New Roman are either overused or some never used due to is overtly classical form. This thought was unsettling me for a while and, I just decided to study some of these with a fresh perspective. When I started experimenting with the forms, the counters, the ascenders, the stem and the results were some stunning Typographical Visuals.  While my experiments were in Black and White, I believe right colors take typography to next level.”
Sharing some of the Typographical Designs

by Deepti Kshirsagar : Partner and Executive Director – WOW Design.

Arial Narrow : Beautiful counterspaces.

BrushScript : The Flowy curves

Avenir Light : The lightness in the stems

Baskerville : The classic solid serifs

What was the brief given by Dabur?
The client’s brief was to extend the fruit equity of Real to the fizz category and target a new TG which was not directly being targeted by Real – the youth. It had to appeal to the target group including Males & Females, SEC A within the age group of 22-25 years living in the metro cities.

The TG looks for a drink with aspirational value and they consume the beverage as a mood enhancer, which helps them break from the monotonicity to elevate their mood. They have graduated from the Carbonated Soft Drink usage and need the fun of fizz in their drink along with tangible benefits. It is the format of the drink that is fruit & fizz which is a new appealing proposition that they want to try, also the variants is a trigger for usage due to the taste perception & exoticness of the berries.

This is a drink that gives the consumer a new tasty option of a fizzy drink with the goodness of fruits, an exotic treat that uplifts their mood. The core reason to believe was an offering with exotic fruits with the excitement of fizz from the house of Real.
