Description:
Freedom Grams. A cannabis brand that makes consumers aware that others are still in prison for amounts they can legally buy today. All proceeds fund legal action to get them out.
The design system is based on prison bars from which generative typography breaks free, symbolizing the project’s theme of liberation.
The custom variable type has two fonts: extended and condensed. Each character was constructed from two perspectives: from inside the grid and outside to show the contradiction between the treatment of consumers and those in prison.
The monogram of the brand represents the odd amounts (in grams) of cannabis, precise up to one decimal point.
The branded matchbook is relief printed and attached to each package, reminding consumers that they can ignite change.
The label generator tool allows even non-designers to generate the custom type and create Freedom Grams labels easily.
From the packaging, the stories unfold through AR and on a website, with all cases and ways to act: like signing petitions, contacting senators, and joining local groups. The editorial section on the website guides the user with data and evocative photography on cannabis consumption and prisons in the U.S.
