PEssence - Tee

A Small Mark Carrying the Whole Brand

The PEssence tee is the lightest piece in the signature line: the full Persian Essence mark, printed small at the centre of the chest on a lightweight cotton tee, in fifteen colours.

No scene, no figure, no history lesson. It sits with the PEssence hoodie and the two PEssence caps at the quiet end of the catalogue — the one you reach for when the clothes should not do the talking.

The Design Vision

• The linear construct: Parallel horizontal rules stacked into a tight block. From across a room it reads as a grid or a woven panel; up close it becomes lettering.
• Embedded lettering: The letterforms are built into the rules rather than printed over them, so the mark resolves on the second look, not the first.
• Squared-off wordmark: PERSIAN ESSENCE set beneath the block in hard geometric type — engineered lettering under a heritage it never spells out.
• Ink that follows the shirt: Light line-work on the darker colours, dark line-work on the paler ones, so the fine lines stay crisp on all fifteen.
• Front only: One small mark below the collar. The back stays plain.

The whole brand, at the size of a signature.
