Precision is a Swiss habit.
Nerve is the Italian half.
Klint sits on the line between
the two — building work that is
engineered to the millimetre
and impossible to ignore.

What we do, and do properly.
Names, marks, type systems and the rulebook that keeps them honest. We design identities that survive contact with reality — a 16px favicon, a 6-metre facade, a badly-lit trade fair.
- Strategy & positioning
- Naming
- Visual identity
- Typeface commissioning
- Brand guidelines
Editorial, fast, and a little bit unreasonable. Designed in the browser, built on modern stacks, tuned until the interaction feels like it has weight.
- Art direction
- Design & prototyping
- Front-end engineering
- WebGL & motion
- CMS & performance
Interfaces for things people use every day. Research, flows, design systems, and the unglamorous states — empty, loading, error — that decide whether a product is actually good.
- Product discovery
- UX & UI design
- Design systems
- Prototyping
- Handoff & QA
Real-time and rendered. Shader work, procedural systems, product films and the micro-interactions nobody notices until you take them away.
- WebGL / Three.js
- Shader development
- 3D art direction
- Film & edit
- Sound design

How it goes
01 — Sondaggio
Dig
Two weeks with your business, your competitors and your customers. We come back with a point of view, not a mood board.
02 — Disegno
Draw
Directions, not options. Two or three sharp routes, argued properly, then one chosen and pushed until it is finished.
03 — Costruzione
Build
Designers and engineers on the same call. Everything designed in-browser, tested on real devices, measured against real numbers.
04 — Consegna
Hand over
Documentation your team can actually use, plus a retainer if you want us close. No hostage-taking.
“They redrew the whole company in eleven weeks and made it look like it had always been that way.”
