Hero — Sera Deli identity

The challenge

Sera Deli moves through the whole day — sandwiches at lunch, pantry goods in the afternoon, aperitivo into the evening. The challenge was a single identity flexible enough to carry all three, plus a private-label pantry range.

It had to feel casual and confident, but quietly premium — and stay recognisable across dozens of small touchpoints.

"Casual, confident, and quietly premium — from lunch to the last spritz."

The idea

A warm, graphic identity built on bold typography, tactile paper textures and simple, food-led moments.

The system was designed as a flexible language — kraft, cream and bold product names — that holds together across takeaway bags, sandwich wraps, pantry jars and the aperitivo menu.

A complete, considered system — logotype, palette, type and a signature fourth element — built to feel cohesive across every touchpoint.

Why it works

Beyond the look, here's what this identity is built to do and the bar I hold every brand I design to.

Flexible

One system, many forms

Holds from a sandwich wrap to a pantry jar to the aperitivo menu.

Premium

Without the polish

Casual and confident, but never cheap quietly elevated.

Recognisable

In the small stuff

Stickers, receipts and stamps make every moment feel on-brand.

"A place you'd return to often for lunch, for pantry goods, for good food on repeat."
