Ferro Coffee

The brief

A third-generation foundry turned specialty roaster. Ferro wanted a brand that honoured the iron, the fire and the family — and stood apart from the pastel sameness of speciality coffee.

Our approach

We built a heavy slab-cut typeface from the foundry’s original casting stamps, paired it with raw kraft stock and a heat-map colour code for roast levels. Every bag reads like an object, not a label.

The outcome

Ferro tripled its wholesale footprint within a year and became the house roast for two of Berlin’s most booked restaurants.
