Gostosa Wines is a natural wine brand that celebrates pleasure, freedom, and identity.
Created to be desired and remembered, it connects the sensory with the personal: living wines, cheeky names, and a carefully crafted aesthetic. A queer brand with character, where design is part of the experience.

Strategic Brand Development
We defined the brand platform, including archetype, purpose, positioning, and tone of voice. Key pillars, benefits, audience, and context were mapped to build a clear foundation for the visual and verbal identity.

Custom logotype sketch
A hand-drawn typeface exploring the brand’s dual nature — fluid, soft, and subtly bold. The “O” becomes a heart: innocent yet suggestive, like a trace left on fogged glass. From this gesture, all versions of the identity unfold.
