Stari is a partner student project created with Virginia Liu for the Color Theory class taught by Adam Ross at ArtCenter College of Design. This project takes the form of a hypothetical blind box series.

In a realm where ancient craftsmanship meets the cosmos, Stari were born: modern talismans inspired by traditional Chinese knots. Each knot threads together unity, harmony, and boundless fortune, while each color carries its own emotional frequency and symbolic energy. To collect a Stari is to collect a moment of synchronicity, and a small reminder that magic reveals itself when we remain open to wonder.

The identity system uses Neue Montreal by Mat Desjardins as the primary sans serif, grounding the brand in contemporary clarity and structure. Lucy Rose by Ellen Luff introduces elegance and sentimentality, subtly echoing tradition and storytelling. Ohno Softie by James Edmondson is reserved exclusively for the logotype, its rounded, plush forms reinforcing the warmth and playful tactility of the blind box experience.
