Typography & Colour
The colours used in this project are meant to reflect
the combination of classic and modern design.
Cyprus was famous in antiquity for its copper resources.
In fact the very word copper is derived from the
Greek name for the island, Kupros and thus to represent
the root and origin of the brand, copper was chosen as the main colour.
