Typology

amber rectangle with a code-led bilingual white formula label

The photographed LAB-1017 bottle puts a formula code and ingredient wording ahead of the maker name. A broad white label sits inside the amber-looking rectangular body, with a spaced code at the top, French and English ingredient groups below, and a small from leading into the heavier Typology signature near the bottom. The black ribbed closure adds functional texture above an otherwise smooth object. This study follows the specific pea-peptide and castor-oil edition shown in Nicola Harger's portfolio, rather than assuming it matches today's lash-serum format.

Typography

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

LAB-1017 is a widely spaced upper line framed by quotation marks. Beneath it, the ingredient statement uses compact uppercase French wording and a parenthesised English counterpart in mixed case. These technical-looking lines contrast with the lower maker signature, which is heavier and more compact. The small word from acts as a hinge between the formula record and the brand. The layout uses changes in spacing, case and weight rather than decorative rules or colour bands to distinguish these roles.

Structure & Proportions

Visual proportions and finish previews are illustrative. Confirmed construction details and uncertainties are distinguished in the study notes.

Proportions

Purpose	Value	Preview
Broad bright reading field	The white label covers much of the flat front while leaving an amber perimeter and a deeper visible strip near the base. Exact label and bottle dimensions are not measured.	—
Narrow closure above broad body	The cap is a distinct smaller upper volume, making the bottle shoulder and rectangular body easy to identify.	—
Information above signature	Code and bilingual ingredients occupy the upper portion; open space separates them from the lower maker group. The maker is visually strong without taking the first reading position.	—
Softened panel corners	Small label corner radii echo the bottle's rounded edges while preserving a clearly rectangular information field.	—

Shapes

Element	Value	Preview
Body	Flat upright rectangle with softened corners and rounded shoulder transitions.
Label	Large white rounded-corner rectangle inset within an amber border.
Cap	Narrow black cylindrical closure with closely spaced vertical ribs.

Formats and materials


Formats	Closed flat rectangular serum bottle with rounded edges, short narrow neck and cylindrical ribbed black cap.
Materials	The body is amber and transparent-looking at its edges, but the inspected primary sources do not provide a component declaration for this edition., Cap composition, label stock, adhesive and hidden applicator materials are unverified. No material or capacity is transferred from a current product listing.
Closures	The black cap is narrower than the body and carries close vertical ribs. Its regular cylindrical outline contrasts with the broad flat front of the bottle. The photographed closure is on; it does not show a brush, wand, dropper or dispensing opening. Ribs can be described as visible grip-oriented geometry, but opening torque and the exact attachment cannot be determined from the image.
Decoration	Quoted LAB-1017 code at the top of the label., French ingredient wording followed by an English parenthetical group., Small introductory from above the lower maker signature., No illustrated ingredient motif on the visible label.

Front Panel

Schematic reading order. The diagram’s zone heights do not represent measured artwork proportions.

The panel reads like a concise formula record. The code sits at the top with enough spacing to operate as a discrete identifier. Ingredient lines are grouped tightly below, with French and English separated by case and parentheses rather than a rule. A comparatively open interval leads to the small from and larger maker name. The label therefore provides two main information groups: formula identification above and attribution below. Its bright field prevents the amber bottle from becoming the background for the smallest letters.

Zone	Content
Upper code	Spaced LAB-1017 identifier framed by quotation marks.
French ingredient group	Pea peptide percentage and castor-oil wording in uppercase lines.
English counterpart	Parenthesised mixed-case ingredient wording immediately below.
Attribution bridge	Small from introduces the maker without another visual container.
Lower signature	Heavier Typology name anchors the bottom of the white panel.

Range System

Numbered describes a wider collaboration around ingredient transparency, art direction and digital experience. That provides identity context, not a verified packaging-design credit or a complete physical range specification. The selected code can be analysed as a navigation device, but this study does not infer what every LAB number means or whether current products use the same bottle. A new code system should be paired with readable product wording, not require users to memorise codes alone.

Selected reference: LAB-1017 with pea-peptide and castor-oil wording on the photographed label.
Documented context: Numbered's Typology project describes transparency and digital branding work.
Original-design exercise: use stable identifiers alongside descriptive names, with explicit rules for revisions and variant changes.

Back of Pack & Shelf

The reverse, underside and applicator are unseen. No capacity is confidently readable on the selected front. The current French product page could not be inspected beyond its verification screen, so present-day component details and instructions are not substituted for the photographed edition.

Obtain the reverse and base before assigning quantity or batch-code positions.
Inspect the open closure before identifying an applicator format.
For new artwork, allow bilingual copy to expand without compressing the formula code or maker group.

On shelf

Interpretation: the bright label and dark text offer a comparatively stable information surface, but the prominent code may be less helpful to an unfamiliar shopper than a plain product name. The lower maker signature gives a strong ending to the reading sequence. For an independent system, test whether people can distinguish adjacent formulas using the descriptive text as well as the identifier. A code-led appearance should support navigation rather than merely simulate technical authority.

Imagery

Nicola Harger's photograph places the bottle diagonally against pale rough stone, framed by dry curved branches. The dark cap and amber edge separate clearly from the near-white background, while the branches introduce irregular curves around the bottle's regular geometry. The scene supports a material, restrained presentation without inserting botanical illustration into the label. It does not prove ingredient origin or packaging sustainability. The photographer portfolio is the source for this selected image; Numbered is credited only for the services it actually lists.

Guidelines

Editorial principles for an original design brief, not official brand guidelines.

Do

Give formula codes a consistent role alongside readable descriptions.
Separate language groups through line breaks and punctuation that remain clear at small size.
Use a bright panel to stabilise text contrast on a dark transparent-looking bottle.
Keep photographer, digital agency and packaging designer credits distinct.

Don't

Do not infer the hidden applicator from the product category.
Do not transfer current packaging details to the photographed LAB-1017 edition without a match.
Do not treat amber colour as proof of material composition or UV protection.
Do not copy the Typology signature or its complete code-and-attribution arrangement.

Thickness, contents and lighting influence it; no glass tint or UV-protection specification is established. - Soft white panel: #EEEEE8 — Approximate bright label field, distinct from the textured stone beneath. Paper stock, coating and adhesive are unverified. - Near-black information: #151612 — Approximate code, bilingual copy and maker lettering, repeated visually by the dark closure. Invent a useful identifier format rather than copying LAB numbering. Change the maker placement and panel geometry for a distinct hierarchy. Choose a separate material setting instead of reproducing branches and pale rock. Image prompt: Create an original botanical-care concept called Field Record in a short oval smoke-grey vessel with a smooth dark cap. Use a narrow off-centre cream label with an original maker name at the top, a clear descriptive product title and a small R-series identifier below. Pair monospaced supporting information with a calm sans-serif title. Photograph on plain pale ceramic without branches or stone props. Do not reproduce existing logos, Typology lettering or its from-signature arrangement. Treat materials, applicator, coating and dimensions as proposals requiring verification. ## Study sources & limitations - [Nicola Harger — Typology product photography, selected LAB-1017 image](https://www.nicolaharger.com/typology-product-photography-nashville) - [Numbered — Typology art direction and digital branding context](https://numbered.com/project/typology) - Current French product page returned a verification screen; no current component details transferred. - Bottle and cap composition, label stock and application process are unverified. - Original fonts, physical dimensions, capacity and production date are unidentified. - Reverse, underside and applicator are unseen; Numbered is not attributed packaging design without evidence. ### Evidence notes - **edition (source):** Photographer portfolio contains the selected LAB-1017 bottle image, supporting image provenance.
