A Berlin based company which translates to “Pirating printer” in English seeks to allow wearers take home pieces of European cities without spending on costly souvenirs.

“The brand and tonality was translated into visual form and matched with a custom-made display typeface, named Sentrum, made to suit the in-store signage.
