Norway’s largest food festival

Innovation Norway organises Matstreif, one the largest food festival in Norway. It provides an opportunity to food and drink producers from across the country to showcase their best work to an audience of food lovers. They’re growing every year, and hoped for a refresh that would transform Matstreif from a food market to a true food festival. As a frame of reference, we found inspiration in the established category language of music festivals. The farmers, their origins and food are put in the center and became rock stars for the weekend.

Identity ingredients includes a custom variable type, kneaded out across all formats, a distinct illustration style and a vibrant color program

In addition, we included guidelines for their tone of voice and a library of whimsical onomatopoeias

Another star of the show, Smaks Sans, a variable type going from extremely narrow to very wide. It changes flavour and texture constantly

Digital surfaces allows the audience to interact and shape the identity according to their taste

Together with photographer Marthe Thu, we set a mission to shot all images in a documentary-esque manner. The digital photo library made it easy for the organizers to promote during the festivities – and for the coming 2020 festival

Matstreif 2020 is scheduled to happen September 11-12. See you there!
