Studio Dobra created a colored visual identity and graphic system for record label Esfera based on a pair of fonts: Tartuffo (from lift-type) and RT Dromo (from Razzia Typefaces). Esfera, the collaborative creation of André Tentugal and Henrique Amaro, was conceived to unite musicians and explore solutions in the realms of recording, editing, and communicating innovative phonograms.
The initiative unfolded during a three-day artistic residency at the Arda Recorders studio in Porto. The outcome of this residency manifests in the form of five distinct vinyl editions featuring collaborative works with participating artists. The roster includes Miramar teaming up with JP Simões, Sensible Soccers with Carlos Maria Trindade, Mão Morta with Pedro Sousa, Joana Gama with Angélica Salvi, Haarvöl, and Adolfo Luxúria Canibal, and Manel Cruz with Miguel Ramos and André Tentugal. Each vinyl edition encapsulates the unique artistic contributions of these collaborations. A specific color has been chosen for each of these vinyls.
