Café Parisien · Design StudioThree stylistic families: editorial directions that lean on storytelling, minimal ones that let the photography carry the message, and statement directions (magazine and Inox) that go big on art direction.
Cream paper, espresso ink, terracotta accent. Cormorant Garamond + Inter. Confident, design-forward.
Butter cream, sage, butter yellow. Fraunces serif. Polaroid photos. Family front and center.
Saffron, deep olive, terracotta. Zellige tile motifs. Two-column "De Paris / D'Algiers" menu.
Image-led. Full-screen hero, lookbook-style pastry grid, captions in tiny uppercase. EB Garamond throughout. Almost no body copy. Like a museum label or a fashion catalogue.
Each section is a printed card — hero, today's three, carte, catering, story, visit. Libre Caslon Display + JetBrains Mono labels. Tactile, vintage paper feel. Reads like opening a beautifully designed menu card.
The website treated as a quarterly publication — masthead, contents page, editor's letter with drop cap, magazine profile with pull quote, colophon footer. Italiana display + Cormorant body. The chic Cereal / Kinfolk / Drift aesthetic.
Inspired by Café Nuances in Paris (Crosby Studios). Black and brushed steel with a vibrant orange wall, Space Grotesk display in chrome and italic Cormorant accents, JetBrains Mono technical labels, brutalist grid, scrolling marquee, spec-sheet carte. Bold and design-forward — the most "fashion brand" direction yet.
