Tamr promotes quality, eco-friendliness and transparency, which asks for a clean and simple aesthetic. The identity pairs a restrained grey wordmark with a single gold stroke, and it had to work on a box as well as on a screen.

The shop was built as a Vue 3 single-page app with its own bag and checkout, so the brand carries all the way through to the moment someone pays.

The mark

Drawn stroke by stroke from the original brand sheet. The small version keeps only the wordmark, and the favicon only the gold stroke.

Pick a version, or draw it again

Colour

The brand's three colours: date gold, honey and stone.

Pick a swatch to copy its hex

Icons

The brand's icons. The shop reuses them, from its category buttons to its tasting notes.

Hover or tap one to draw it again

The shelf

Three categories and the products in each, photographed as cut-outs so they sit on any page.

Switch between dates, coffee and gifts

Tasting notes

Each coffee lists what it tastes of, with an illustration for every note.

Switch between Harar and Yemen

Origins

Each date and coffee on the shop's own map, with the region it's grown in and its season.

Pick an origin

Choosing a weight

Three sizes of the same box, printed with the mark in black. Pick one and the box and the price change with it.

Adding to the bag

The button confirms with a drawn checkmark while the dates fly into the bag and its count goes up.
