VITAHUG


> Branding & Font Design, 2021





Hugs are natural, lifelong vitamins.

Every hug promotes the production of hormones: oxytocin for security, 5HT for happiness, endorphins for pain relief, and vasopressin for attachment......Having studied the "hug-hormone-mood" regulatory mechanism, I understand hugging as a coenzyme, just like vitamins.

"VITAHUG' brand wants to help people understand that hugging is a natural need and encourage people to actively express this need.

拥抱是天然的、终生的维他命。

每一个拥抱都在促进激素分泌:给人安全感的催产素,使人快乐的五色羟胺,缓解疼痛的内啡肽,激发依恋的后叶加压素……研究了“拥抱-激素-情绪”的调节机制之后,我将拥抱理解成一种辅酶,就如维他命一样。

「拥抱维我命」药品品牌希望能够帮助人们理解拥抱是一种天然需求,并鼓励人们积极表达这一需求。






The HUG font is inspired by the curve of a person's elbow during a hug: each letter is a muscle that powers the hug.

The font makes up the brand logo, slogan, posters, and various materials.




I divided the hugging needs into 7 age groups and used one letter each to represent an age group,
which means the primary need for hugging in each stage .
