Nose High Travel × Leatherius Woodman – a leather stamping study
From the Practice Log – an ongoing series of stamping studies on real-world marks.
An August study.
For Nose High Travel.
Their wordmark presses lengthwise along the tag, the way a lockup with rules that long always wanted to travel. Warm tan and pale sea-blue come straight off their own palette. The black tag carries the gold.
"Nose high" is a pitch attitude, so we drew it the way a pilot reads it – an attitude indicator with the horizon dropped low and the little wings settled into a steady climb. It is the instrument you trust without looking, pressed here on the things a traveler reaches for the same way: the keys, the kit, the passport. The black fob carries the gold, lit like a panel at night.
Two ways between the same two points: the thin dashed line is what a booking engine sells, and the bold sweep through the waypoints is what "Luxury Travel Design" means. A journal, in chestnut and pale greige, is where that sweep gets drawn first.
Runway 36 points due north. A catchall tray in golden tan – at the end of the day, everything in your pockets is cleared to land.
We made this out of love. Leatherius Woodman is on a mission to create and share artifacts of beauty, craft and love – this study is one of them, and we hope the feeling is mutual. Every image is a render – how we prototype before cutting a die.
