How do you design a website that has many stories to tell?
Ostaria Posta is a family-run hotel in the Dolomites which has existed for 125 years. In addition to the corporate identity and all print media, we designed an extensive website.

How to support a place with typography? The building at Eschelsweg number 4 dates back to the 60s. It is home to music studios, graphics studios, a hacker and maker’s space and many others that have set up on two floors.
