The problem
The founders wanted a name and look that honoured both kitchens without leaning on clichés from either.
The approach
I drew a custom typeface where each letter is built from the scoring patterns on a loaf. It runs across bags, stamps and the shop window.
The outcome
The bakery opened with a queue around the block and a second shop followed within a year.
