Originated as the inaugural incarnation of Sydney’s successful Vivid festival, the Luminous festival was conceived by the Sydney Opera House with a vision to integrate the world’s best entertainment in one fantastic venue. Formist were engaged to design the identity for Luminous and initiated a custom typeface as the identity’s central element. The Luminous typeface features a bold simplicity that allows it to withstand almost any graphic treatment, while retaining a sense of style and personality all its own. As part of the inaugural identity the type was executed with a mesh network as a reference to the idea of luminosity and the festival’s integrated nature.
