Mr. Chipotle

Mr. Chipotle flavor variants: Honey, Original and Tomato
The defining idea of the design is a custom display typeface that runs as a continuous border around the base of each label. Densely packed zigzag letterforms read at first glance as a traditional Mesoamerican weaving pattern and on closer inspection spell out the brand name.
