What makes the design work

ILIA brand study

Visual observations across the brand’s packaging. Individual formats and editions may vary.

Vertical wordmark

Thin geometric capitals tracked about +40%, rotated to read bottom to top along about 45% of body height.

Paired cap mark

Same wordmark printed on the cap so that cap and base read as a pair when separated.

Flush cylinder cap

Straight push-on cap the same diameter as the body, in the body colour or a related nude.

Reading the label

No label: the wordmark is printed once along the lower body and once on the cap, both vertical and centred.

Body: Vertical spaced wordmark reading bottom to top
Cap: Same wordmark repeated, aligned with the body
Base or back: Shade, product name and size in tiny type

Typography & hierarchy

There is one typographic element on the front: the brand name, spaced out in thin capitals and rotated to read up the component. It appears again on the cap, so cap and base line up as a pair. Product names, shades and claims are held to tiny lines on the base, the back or the carton.

How the range holds together

Body colour stays within warm white, cream and nude, while product type is signalled by component shape and shade by what shows through clear walls, the bullet or a single coloured cap.

Shelf presence

On a counter the range reads as a tidy family of pale, matte cylinders in stepped skin tones, with the shade glimpsed through frosted walls; the thin vertical wordmark is quiet enough to read only up close.
