Jappan is a bilingual food guide app that explores the full range of Japanese cuisine—from street food to fine dining—across cities in Japan and Switzerland. The app’s design draws from shared principles of Swiss and Japanese aesthetics: clarity, reduction, and precision.

Typography plays a key role in balancing cultures. The interface pairs the sans-serif Futter Grotesk by Upset (customised for this project) with Noto Sans for Japanese. Both share a similar weight and rhythm, creating a seamless reading experience across scripts. The absence of icons and subtle UI gestures—like blurred text that sharpens on tap—support an understated, tactile user experience.

The app design and concept were made by Seto Studio, and the development by Milk Interactive.
