Brand in a Box: Twilight Apothecary

Brand in a Box: Twilight Apothecary

Samantha Remboldt

Welcome to ‘Brand in a Box': a weekly drop where I create a fictional brand & give you….

  • custom color palette & font pairings 

  • my reasons behind those choices

  • a website mockup so you can see HOW those elements come together (your most-requested feature!)

 

This week's brand is 'Twilight Apothecary': a mystical, moody apothecary that sells artisan soaps and herbal remedies. I know I say this every week, but this brand was so much FUN to bring to life.

I leaned into more natural, herb-based, semi-gothic vibes for this brand. The color palette couldn't be simpler (it's only 3 colors!) and the fonts lean into the 'typewriter' vibe that I was craving. I can totally picture a line of candle/soap labels for this brand.

But the graphics are reallllllly what bring this brand to life. I found a lovely pack of herb + apothecary illustrations (SVG's, so I can change the colors!) that worked perfectly to bring the gothic, herbal vibes.

 

These fonts & colors are perfect for: 

  • brands that prioritize natural remedies, nostalgia, and the mind/body connection
  • gothic/artisanal brands
  • brands that want to feel 'crunchy' and natural

 

The Fonts: 

I had a font in my library called 'Apothecary Serif' and it turned out to be a PERFECT match for this project. It feels handwritten, yet artisinal. It reminds me a bit of Taylor Swift's Folklore era- which was exactly the vibe I wanted.

The Colors: 

Hold on to your hats because this is a three color palette. I only used 3 colors: a light neutral (parchment), a dark neutral (midnight), and a bold(ish) color (herbs). IMO- this reduced palette carries its weight and lets the fonts & graphics shine.

 

The Graphics: 

I found this pack of apothecary herbs/tools and instantly knew it was the perfect addition to this project. I also love how the handwritten feel matches the heading font- making everything come together beautifully.

I'm Obsessed!

I've been a fan of their tools from the beginning, but I've got to say the new Color Palette Pro is the best yet! As a web designer this is the first place I go to take my clients' inspiration and create a palette that's uniquely them, but also meets contrast guidelines. It's so much fun to use I could spend hours just creating amazing palettes. There's so much here, I could go on and on, do yourself a favor and grab this tool!

Hi Megan,

I'm so grateful for your review- thank you! I love your comment about spending hours just playing with the tool- I felt the exact same way when we were working on this new update. I'm glad this makes creating color palettes feel FUN. Thank you!

Fantastic tools, overflowing with value!

Wow! Such fabulous tools! Having watched from the sidelines for a long time, I'm so glad to have finally made the leap and purchased these tools. What a lot of time I've been wasting up until now. Oops! Oh and I love how they all integrate with each other to make processes even easier. Thanks so much Sam and Chris for all the love and effort you put into these. It shows!
