Design Aesthetics you can copy for your next project
Retro cartoon branding / modern vintage illustration.
1. Mid-Century Modern Illustration
• Simplified shapes, clean lines, and flat colors.
• Reminiscent of 1950s–1960s commercial art and packaging.
2. Mascot/Character Branding
• The central figure (Piccolo) has a strong character-driven design, common in nostalgic food brands.
• Often used to build emotional connection and memorability.
3. Badge & Emblem Typography
• The circular badge layout with curved text around the mascot is typical of vintage food labels.
• The custom, chunky serif font adds to the retro charm.
4. Monoline Icons
• The ingredient icons (e.g. cane sugar, onion & garlic) use a monoline, minimal iconography style.
• Simple and bold, suitable for screen printing or vintage print techniques.

Fonts to Match the Style, all under google fonts ;)
1. For Logo/Display Text (like “PICCOLO’S”)
• Font: Chewy
• Style: Bouncy, cartoonish, retro
• Best for: Character names, main brand wordmarks
• Alternative: Lilita One
• Slightly more compact and structured, but still retro-bold
⸻
2. For Labels/Badges (like “BRINED CUCUMBERS” or “GLUTEN FREE”)
• Font: Chicle
• Has a playful, hand-lettered feel
• Perfect for ingredient tags and flavor badges
• Alternative: Fredoka
• Rounded, modern-vintage look, great legibility
⸻
3. For Supporting Text (like ingredients or small notes)
• Font: Quicksand
• Geometric, clean, and soft. Plays well with the friendly branding.
• Alternative: Archivo
• If you want something a bit more structured but still retro.
⸻
Tips for Applying the Style
• Use bold weights of these fonts to echo the thick linework in the illustrations.
• Stick to 2–3 font families max to keep the hierarchy clean.
• Use color blocks or strokes to emulate the badge-like shapes around text.
