Design agency Lo Siento have recently completed their packaging design work for Spanish olive oil producer Olis Bargalló‘s new Olive & Sesame variety.
Lo Siento’s use of condensed sans-serif typography, stacked vertically, and printed with a single black ink makes great use of the tall tin and its warm gold colour.
Typography, structural choice and straightforward language share a similar commercial kitchen utility and simplicity that suitably reflects Olis Bargalló’s relationship with professionals in gastronomy and commercial kitchens while the serif of the 18 and lighter sans-serif weights set horizontally offer contrast and temper the bold typography with a little detail. Although made up of few elements the solution effectively combines structure, colour and typography in a way that appears bold and distinctive.

Thank you to everyone who has visited BP&O since its beginning in 2011. As many of you know, BP&O has always been a free-to-access design blog that seeks to offer extended opinion on brand identity work. It has sought to be the antithesis of the social media platform that often disentangles form, context and content. Writing articles can take 2-4hrs and are carefully researched.
I am passionate about design writing and believe that spending time to write about work, rather than just posting images, furthers design discourse. If you have enjoyed this article, have been with the site from its early days and would like to help contribute to its future, please consider supporting the site with a small PayPal donation. This will go towards the costs of hosting, CDN (to make the site quick to load) and Mailchimp, and cover some of the time it takes to research, write-up, format and share posts.
