Porto-based studio VOLTA created a joyful, typographic identity and packaging for bean-to-bar chocolate brand GLAD. The design uses KyivType Sans exclusively, paired with a warm, flavour-inspired colour palette and tactile materials to express the happiness of chocolate. The project extends across packaging, digital applications, and the chocolate bars themselves.
The Brand Identity interviews independent creative director and designer Badal Patel about her journey running her own studio, balancing work and life, and drawing inspiration from her Indian-American upbringing. Patel discusses her process, tools, and the challenges of freelancing, as well as her proudest project, the branding of Kulfi Beauty, a South Asian beauty brand. The conversation highlights her cultural influences, business lessons, and creative philosophy.
