ERBA is hand-lettered system I designed, inspired by how plants actually grow, the curve of a stem, the tension before a leaf opens.
I sketched the full alphabet by hand first, then turned each letter into a vector, and used Envato's text effect tools to transform it into a metallic texture, a deliberate twist on how plants are usually shown.
Color was its own decision. The obvious choice would've been floral palettes, pretty, on-trend, exactly what you'd expect from a plant project. But this was never about flowers. It's about structure, about growth. I kept pushing past the easy option until I found something that read as modern instead of decorative.
From there, I animated each letter using Envato AIGen growing the way a real plant actually grows, hesitant at first, then sure of itself. I built a few extra pieces around it too, to give the lettering system its own small universe.
ERBA. Grown, not just designed.
If you're a plant lover, I hope you enjoyed this one. 🌱
