Northwind

A brand and site for a single-origin roastery, built around the rhythm of the roast and the people behind it.

The challenge

Northwind had a following and a flavor, but no system. Every touchpoint was improvised, and the online store could not keep up with demand.

The approach

We built an identity around the roast log — the daily record that already structured their work — and extended it across packaging, signage, and a storefront that tells you what is fresh today.

The outcome

A brand that scales with the business, and a store that sells out every roast within hours of listing.
