The Foundry

Cuts crafted. Confidence earned.

The Foundry is a minimalist barbershop named for the places where things are made properly. The identity is one warm white sheet with everything living on it as a generously rounded card: photographic panels, white product tiles, plaster pills, and black signage panels spent one at a time. Inter carries every word in sentence case; the serif of the shopfront, Lora under a small anvil, appears only as the wordmark and the small marks on packaging. Oak counters and olive trees supply the only warmth, carried entirely by the photography.

04 — Usage Guidelines

Getting it right

  • 1

    One warm white sheet; everything on it is a rounded card. Big panels at 28px, cards at 24px, controls fully round.

  • 2

    Black is the only dark and the only accent: the wordmark, hairlines, pills, and black signage panels where a warmer brand would use colour.

  • 3

    Inter runs every word in sentence case at medium weight; Lora appears only as the wordmark and the small brand marks on product cards.

  • 4

    The anvil glyph is the only ornament. Oak and olive warmth live inside the photography; never tint a surface with them.
