Financier is a new typeface family drawn for the redesign of the Financial Times (FT), which was launched in September 2014.

Karen Walker Brand Identity

Karen Walker is New Zealand’s most iconic and successful fashion label. The brand lives in the sweet spot, where chic meets eccentric. Karen Walker approached Osborne Shiwan to work on their brand architecture and identity system.

The brief from Karen Walker: “Design us something that can be applied by anyone on anything”. The result is a unified and effortless look, achieved through a simple set of rules. This has allowed Karen Walker to engage various suppliers for tactical work as required, working with us on the over-arching brand.
