Tondo Italian Pizza

Tondo is a contemporary Italian restaurant and bar inspired by the aesthetics of 1960s–70s Italy. The identity unfolds through a tactile packaging system, where every object — from take-away boxes to branded materials — contributes to a cohesive restaurant experience. The logotype is built on bold, custom-drawn letterforms referencing Italian signage from the mid-20th century. The name “Tondo” — Italian for “round” — becomes both a verbal and visual foundation of the brand. The visual language is based on symmetrical composition, geometric rhythm, and typographic contrast. A signature sun symbol sits at the center of the system, reinforcing the nostalgic yet confident tone of the identity and evoking vintage Italian packaging, signage, and architectural references from the 1960s–70s. The packaging system uses rich shades of red, green, and beige, directly connected to the interior and culinary themes of the restaurant: pasta, pizza, tomatoes, herbs, warmth, and hospitality. Across boxes, bags, napkins, menus, uniforms, and spatial details, the identity combines adaptive logo compositions, bilingual typography, die-cut forms, debossing, and tactile finishes to create a cohesive material language. The result is a packaging and identity system that translates the atmosphere of Tondo into physical objects and reflects the restaurant’s positioning as a modern interpretation of classic Italian hospitality.
