Our vibrant colours represent the<br />

energy of the brand.<br />

Interstate is clear, modern face that creates<br />

consistent communication. It’s paired with a<br />

friendly and human typeface Northwell.<br />

with a natural candid character. We employ<br />

various retouching techniques to strengthen the<br />

cohesion of our photography across the brand.<br />

not aim to sell a product but instead aim to express a brand<br />

belief. For example quotes, inspirational words, our shared<br />

shopping mindsets and greetings. ie: Happy New Year, Happy<br />

Holidays, We love to shop...<br />
