Štrika Ferrata Studio Tumpić/Prenc

Project description

The Kanfanar-Rovinj railway line connected the economic centers of the Austro-Hungarian Empire with Rovinj from 1876 to 1966. This line is now a bicycle/pedestrian path called Štrika (as the Istrians in Kanfanar call it) Ferata (as Italians from Rovinj call it). The visual identity is based on the presentation of the railway as the main element since it is still in function, but a different one. The font turns into wooden beams as part of the rail tracks. They become a text that evokes the railway’s previous existence and tells us about its new purpose through the route’s name. In the further development of the identity, it can be replaced by another text or signalization, depending on the material.
