The system, six feet wide.

Same wordmark, same purple, same logic. The brand reads the same standing on the pavement as it does scrolling on your phone.

§ 04 — Digital menus Even the screens above the till.
In situ — store counter
Set in Space Grotesk + Instrument Serif

Designed like every other surface.

Most cafés bolt a stock template onto a TV. Here, the screens use the same type system, the same rhythm, the same purple as the wall behind them.

§ 05 — The Trip

A brand earns
its claims.

Most cafés say "we care where it comes from." So we packed the team into a long-tail boat and went to the source farm — Ygara Artesanal, deep in the Brazilian Amazon. The trip became the brand.

"You can't fake travelling 5,400 miles. The tees came back muddier than we hoped — which is exactly what the brand is supposed to mean."
