About this project

A new artisanal coffee shop preparing to open in small-town Alberta: we built the brand from the messaging and voice up. Identity, logo system, packaging, and the in-cafe details (the cups, mugs, and signage) that turn a good first sip into a returning customer.

Hero tagline

An opening worth showing up for.

Menu note

Whisked matcha, house-made ube cream foam. Earthy, sweet, a little unexpected.

Opening post

The door is open. The kettle is on. We’ve been waiting to meet you. Come find us on Cloverpuff.

Loyalty welcome

Welcome, Eleanor. Your first bean is already waiting.

Nº 06 Usage.
01
Wordmark always closes with the terracotta full-stop. The dot is non-negotiable.
02
Ube purple is seasonal only. Never as a primary.
03
Minimum wordmark size: 24 px digital, 14 mm print.
04
DM Serif Display for headlines. DM Sans for body. DM Mono for numbers.
05
Botanicals are accents, not wallpaper. Use with restraint.
06
Forest is the primary background. Cream for surfaces. Never reverse the two.
Nº 07 Social.
