The typeface Turbine in use for the visual identity and screen design of the b-good health brand.

Founded in Istanbul in 1987, Çapa Medical developed into one of the largest wholesalers and suppliers of medical consumables in Turkey during its first 25 years. In 2015, Çapa accelerated its growth through its subsidiary Honnes which produces bandages, disinfectants and protective clothing.

T

welve months later, Honnes launched the consumer brand b-good and entered the B2C business for the first time with a wide range of plasters and bandages.

b-good sales multiplied during the Corona pandemic through the sale of disinfectants, gloves and face coverings and they expanded into 12,000 pharmacies in 50 countries. In 2022, this was followed by their entry into the manufacture and sale of cosmetic products with the launch of their sister brand b-good care. b-good sets itself apart from the competition by using high-quality, harmless ingredients and do not test their products on animals. The b-encapsulation process patented by Honnes is designed to enhance the effectiveness of the mostly plant-based ingredients.

With the evolution from B2B to B2C business, a revamp and revision of b-good’s visual identity became necessary. For this, the brand could find no better partner than the design studio Just Design FX, whose desks are located in a coworking area of the Meydan shopping mall, in the hip district of Ümraniye on the Asian side of Istanbul.

Agency Founder and Creative Director, Merve Gülay chose the Neo-Grotesque, Turbine by Felix Braden, as her house font. Its superelliptical curves (a mixture of ellipse and rectangle, also known as Lamé curve), broad proportions, minimal contrast and tight spacing guarantees a serious appearance with a high recognition value. Gülay explained her choice of typeface:

The fact that Turbine can be used in both B2B and B2C, is easy to read and has a clean and modern aesthetic made me choose it.
