HEAS
A research platform and visual identity for the Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences initiative at the University of Vienna.
HEAS — Human Evolution and Archaeological Sciences — is a research initiative at the University of Vienna bringing together scholars working on human evolution, prehistoric archaeology, and related disciplines.
We designed and built the platform from scratch: a custom WordPress theme with a clean, academic-yet-approachable visual identity. The design centres readability and discoverability of the research teams and their projects, while keeping the interface light and uncluttered.
The identity work includes a typographic system and colour palette that bridge the scientific and public-facing sides of the initiative.
