Thin Borders was developed as the visual identity for the Transnational Red Sea Center, a research initiative bridging science and diplomacy around coral reef futures. The project required a language capable of operating across scientific, institutional and public contexts, where clarity, precision and symbolic coherence were essential.
The identity was built as a typographic and graphic system, combining naming, logo design and a structured visual language. Developed in collaboration with Onlab Studio, a long-time partner, the project extended into website design and data visualization. The system translates complex scientific content into clear visual forms, linking research, communication and institutional presence.
The resulting identity operates through controlled simplicity, where lines, grids and typographic structures create continuity across formats. Thin Borders defines a visual space where information and narratives intersect, allowing the project to remain precise, legible and adaptable over time.
