ASK LAB developed the brand identity for Helgi Ingvarr, a fashion label inspired by Old Slavic folklore and cultural heritage. The challenge was to translate historical references into a contemporary visual language without falling into nostalgia or decorative clichés, creating an identity that feels both rooted in tradition and relevant to modern fashion.

At the heart of the branding is a bespoke typographic system inspired by the rhythm and geometry of traditional Slavic ornaments. Rather than directly reproducing historical motifs, we distilled their visual principles into custom letterforms that balance cultural references with contemporary graphic design. This typographic language became the foundation for a distinctive brand mark and a flexible identity system applied across labels, packaging, printed materials, and digital communications. The result is a memorable visual identity that expresses the character of the brand while demonstrating ASK LAB’s approach to branding through research, typography, and culturally informed design.
