How to visually communicate music in the context of a custom typeface. This was the starting point for the typography of Lahti Symphony Orchestra.

The display typeface was designed to have two condensed styles; Sinfonia Bold and Sinfonia Music. The Bold is a fluent and readable condensed sans serif, where as the shapes of the Music style are wavy, dancing and wild, as if affected and inspired by music.

Together with powerful imagery of artists and musicians, the identity manages to communicate a strong sense of sound even when no music can be heard.

The typeface was drawn with multiple intermediate styles to make animation from Bold to Music fluent and smooth. In addition to the typeface the new Sinfonia Lahti logo got the music treatment as well.
