OVERVIEW

Kihikihi takes its name from the Māori word for cicada. The identity explores emergence, rhythm, and resonance through repetition, waveform motifs, and modular typography. The system spans risograph ephemera, flexible logos, gallery signage, and a responsive website that documents the work and context.

Objective: build a cohesive language that supports collaboration and experimentation while respecting cultural nuance and place.
