Started with the sensory experience: butter, flakiness, melt-in-the-mouth texture. Researched luxury bakery codes (black, gold, serif typography) but softened them with organic shapes and warm accents. Chose a deep black paired with matte gold for elegance, plus subtle cream tones for softness. Selected a custom serif font that feels refined yet slightly playful. Designed packaging with window cutouts to reveal the croissant’s golden layers. Added hand-drawn flourishes evoking rolled dough. Tested the identity across boxes, bags, in-store signage, and social media. Delivered a brand identity that makes every customer feel they are biting into art.
