The challenge

Design a complete bespoke identity for a café concept from the ground up — not a template pass — to explore how a warm, editorial art direction could feel distinct from the generic "coffee shop" website look.

The design direction

A dedicated brass-and-charcoal palette, a paired Playfair Display and Inter type system, and a fluid type scale run through every section — hero, menu, favourites, reviews and location — so the concept reads as one considered system rather than a stock layout with swapped colours.
