Off Key Junior identity, “Taste Like Summertime” cover and music video

Contributed by Julian Grönberg

Who is Off Key Junior? Junior, Marek, Cecil, and Andrew, residing in both Berlin and London, united by their shared passion for music and a particular affinity for French house and the indie vibes of the 2000s. As talented DJs, producers, and songwriters, they converge to form the sensational collective known as Off Key Junior.

For this collective, they opted to introduce themselves through a single character adorned with a mask designed by art director Julian Grönberg. Julian not only oversaw the graphic and typographic aspects but also spearheaded the transformation. Using a rugged a selfmade brush design as a starting point, they reimagined the original smiley face, turning it into a refreshing character.

The artist’s name uses the Overglow brush typeface, skillfully underlining every bold image and typeface within their visuals. “X Lovespeake” is set in the similar Flood. This attention to detail extends to their latest music video, “Taste Like Summertime,” where they employ Aachen typeface, famously featured in several Tarantino films. This choice not only creates a striking contrast but also infuses a cinematic and retro aesthetic into their artistic music world. In addition, there is Marvin Visions for the title and Credit for the first line.
