Ergon, designed by Hrvoje Živčić, was started in 2017 as a part of a design pitch for branding of Dubrovnik and Neretva county in Croatia. Working in a team with Lana Cavar and Narcisa Vukojević, Hrvoje drew a bold, all-caps typeface honoring the rich cultural and typographic history of the region. The idea was revisited and revised through the years and expanded with a lowercase and additional weights in 2021–22. Stylistically, it is a combination of influences: stone chiseled letters meet sharp digital drawing to produce bold and sculptural graphic forms.
