Overview

Description

Meant to appeal to New Yorkers’ no-nonsense nature with humor and bespoke typography inspired by classic New York restaurant signage. The messaging plays off of local truths and daily struggles that New Yorkers overcome every day. Such as living in small apartments with out-dated kitchens, the general overcrowding and making fun of the neighboring suburbs. We chose a bold graphic style that would break through in the streets and subways already cluttered with thousand of ads and food imagery.
