About Portuguese Cork
Portuguese cork is the look of a harvested material doing its own talking. The warm, lightly speckled tan face of a cork sheet sits against the darker, charred-brown outer bark of the cork-oak plank, and the whole system leans on that contrast — texture over ornament, matte over gloss.
Born from the contemporary sustainable-materials moment, it reads as clean, humanist, and tactile. Geometric and humanist sans-serifs carry the type, generous breathing room surrounds the content, and a single olive-green pulled from the oak canopy keeps the earthy palette honest. Nothing here is loud; everything is grounded.
