The Brief

Atamira Dance company is a New Zealand Maori contemporary dance company. Being of indigenous culture, the company wanted an identity that reflected their cultural heritage.

How the final design was conceived

We observed Atamira’s unique style of dance and were inspired by the strong geometric shapes created during their performances. We created this bespoke typeface to reflect the very nature of the troupe, reminiscent of Maori Tukutuku patterns.

Indication of how successful the outcome was in the market

The typeface becomes an integral part of the identity, used as a display font that reflects the striking, dynamic nature of the dance company.
