Raaka

torn-paper strata under a white window

Raaka wraps each chocolate bar in a flavour-specific pattern of layered, torn-edged colour bands that read like landscape strata or collaged paper, then lays one white portrait panel (#f6f4ef) over the middle. The panel layout never changes: a small brush-script wordmark top left, the cacao percentage top right, a big bold soft serif flavour name over two or three lines, a small tracked capitals line ('Unroasted dark chocolate') and a row of round black certification badges at the base. Milk bars swap the strata for a dense stipple texture, functional pouches use sunset gradients with a coloured ingredient sticker, and truffle and gift boxes reuse the strata on lids or repeat outline bar icons.

Typography

Suggested visual alternatives, not confirmed brand typefaces. Any scale below is an illustrative estimate.

The flavour name is the hero, set big in a bold soft serif across two or three lines in the white panel. The script wordmark and the cacao percentage are small and sit in the panel's top corners, a small tracked capitals line names the chocolate type under the flavour, and a row of black badges closes the panel.

Range System

Each flavour gets its own pattern and colour set around a fixed white panel; sub-lines change the pattern logic (stipple texture for milk bars, sunset gradients and coloured ingredient stickers for functional pouches).

  • Amaranth Vanilla = berry and pink strata
  • Apple Crisp = green, rust and yellow strata
  • Buckwheat Milk Crunch = black stipple on white
  • Puffed Millet & Red Dulse = copper ground with white stipple
  • Day Break / Mellow Moon = sunset gradient pouches with yellow or pink ingredient note
  • Truffle box = berry and terracotta strata lid

Back of Pack & Shelf

The back of the sleeve carries a white panel framed by the same pattern: a short story paragraph about unroasted cacao, a QR code to the transparent-trade report, then nutrition facts, ingredients, cacao origin with a small map strip, and barcode.

  • Short story paragraph in the body sans
  • QR code and transparent-trade report line
  • US nutrition facts panel in black
  • Ingredient list and allergen note
  • Cacao origin line, barcode and maker address

On shelf

A row of bars reads as a sequence of different landscapes cut by the same white window, so the brand billboards through the repeated panel while each flavour stays distinct by its colours.

Imagery

Abstract collage: layered torn-paper bands evoking hills and soil, stipple noise textures and simple outline icons; no photography on pack except windows showing the chocolate.

Guidelines

Do

  • Wrap each bar in a full-bleed pattern of three to five torn-edge colour bands unique to the flavour.
  • Lay one white (#f6f4ef) portrait panel about 80% of wrapper width over the centre and keep its layout fixed.
  • Put a small brush-script wordmark top left and the cacao percentage top right in the panel.
  • Set the flavour name big in a bold soft serif across two or three lines, left-aligned.
  • Line up small black round certification badges along the bottom of the panel.
  • Switch milk bars to a dense stipple texture instead of strata.
  • Use outline icon repeats or the strata for gift and truffle boxes.

Don't

  • Don't print food photography on the wrapper.
  • Don't let the pattern run behind the text; keep the panel solid white.
  • Don't use straight ruled stripes; edges should look torn or hand-cut.
  • Don't set the flavour name in sans-serif.
  • Don't reuse one flavour's colour set for another.
  • Don't centre the panel type; it is left-aligned.
