Café Kuya
An early 2021 pandemic project with friends bravely starting a coffee shop in Montreal during one of the many lockdowns. Lots of zoom meetings finalizing the design to the long awaited in-person reveal once lockdowns lifted.
Design Process
Both owners of the cafe are Filipino and wanted to honour their heritage both in the name and brand of their cafe. They found a font made by a Filipino designer called Bantayog. Additionally they had the idea to pull one of the colours from the Filipino flag.
