Twinings has poured tea from the same shop on London's Strand since 1706, holds a Royal Warrant dating to 1837, and carries a wordmark in continuous use since 1787 — one of the oldest unaltered logos in the world. Its packaging language is the japanned tea caddy: dark iron-green metal, matte gold leaf serif lettering, and a heraldic lion-and-unicorn crest.

This system distills that caddy into screen form — a dark japanned-green ground, matte heritage gilt, refined English serifs, and engraved capitals. The reading ground is always the tin, never cream.
