Brand Identity for Better Bodies Hi
Better Bodies Hi is a workout studio. They needed to create an environment where users after office work could gradually prepare their body and mind towards exercise. Therefore, they designed a typeface that transforms in three stages. As users move from the reception to the workout area, the typeface of the sign gradually changes to a thicker and larger. The typeface gradually guides and encourages the user to work out. They used this typeface in logo, website, and products, to create a brand identity.

A typeface that transforms in three stages was developed for this project. As that typeface gradually gets thicker, the diagonal lines increase, giving it a more lively look. In the reception area, the thinnest typeface is used sparingly to create a relaxed atmosphere. In the workout area, the boldest typeface is used at a size of more than one meter to encourage users. The use of different typefaces depending on the user's situation contributes to the quality of the user's experience.
In Japan, advertisements for gyms often use pictures of very fit Westerners. Of course, Japanese do not become Westerners as a result of workout. BETTER BODIES HI conveys the message that you can improve your body and your life by making incremental changes to your current self. Therefore, They have visualized the "change". The difficulty was in managing the three different typefaces. They designed guidelines and format data so that the client could operate the typeface themselves.
The project started in November 2018 and opened in Aoyama, Tokyo in March 2020.
It is impossible for a user who has just returned from working in an office to start training hard right away. It is necessary to gradually prepare the body and mind. For this reason, the sign at the reception desk is small and modest. The locker sign is a little larger. Signs in the workout area are very large. By changing the signs according to the user's situation, the user can gradually become more prepared.
Normally, the weight of a typeface changes, but its skeleton does not change significantly. For a long time, I have been wondering if it is possible to create a typeface whose skeleton also changes when its weight changes. Also, in general signage projects, the typeface used is limited in order to give a sense of unity to the space, but I was wondering if it would be possible to change the typeface to match the function of the space. These two ideas became the inspiration for this design.
