One continuous stroke, on both of its grounds

The challenge

Explore a restrained visual identity for Revolut, with an emphasis on clear information and consistent treatment of financial figures.

The solution

A continuous-line R anchors the concept. Indigo, white and graphite form the main palette, while mint highlights confirmation states.

Precision as method: the instrument that draws the stroke

Out-of-home: two words and one unbroken line

Project Information

This self-initiated study explores precision as a visual direction. The R monogram connects card, screen, print and outdoor applications.

Tabular numerals align balances and decimal points. The proposed interface uses mint for confirmation, including the transfer state shown on the watch mockup.

Metal surfaces and simple compositions extend the direction beyond the screen. The materials are presented through visual studies, not manufactured products.
