Overview
Easy to read by candlelight.
01
The brief
Oven & Ember's old menus were hard to read in the dining room's low light and did not match the restaurant's warm, rustic feel.
02
The approach
High-contrast type on cream stock, a flame mark, clear sections and dotted price leaders, with a deep red accent carried across posters and table cards.
03
The result
A complete print suite the kitchen can update every season, with press-ready files and editable versions for price changes.
Food and drinks menus, printed on warm cream stock.
Posters and table cards
Event posters and table cards use the same flame mark and type, so the whole room feels like one brand.
