Proofmode Rebrand
Hoodzpah · Jennifer Hood, Marcus Soniat · 2024
A brand identity typeface system built around a confident slab serif, designed to give a media-verification platform a journalistic, human feel distinct from corporate or hacker aesthetics.
About
The typography system for Proofmode's rebrand centres on a slab serif chosen for its warmth and journalistic credibility, supporting the company's positioning as a serious provenance and verification toolset. The type system works alongside a vivid colour palette and pixel-inspired motif to balance approachability with technical authority. The overall identity targets journalists, humanitarian organisations and software integrators, avoiding the cold sterility typical of competing verification products.
