Half Light Coffee

An identity and wholesale experience built to feel distinctive on the shelf and reassuring in a buyer’s inbox.

02 the case study

Built around the business, not the trend.

THE CHALLENGE

The coffee was memorable in the cup but visually disappeared beside better-known roasters, and wholesale enquiries relied on a PDF passed around by email.

THE APPROACH

I developed a high-contrast identity inspired by the first light of a morning brew, then created a concise wholesale page for range, proof and enquiries.

THE OUTCOME

The packaging became easier to spot and the new buyer journey gave cafés everything they needed to take the next step without a long email exchange.
