Maíz arepas & bar

In São Paulo, Brazil, one of the most beloved recipes from Colombia and Venezuela, the arepa gained new releases, fillings and seasonings at the hands of the colombian chef Dagoberto Torres.
The restaurant is a latin take out with a parklet placed right in front of it in one of the coolest neighboorhoods of the city. With lots of different latin fast food and artisanal crafted beers the restaurant needed a identity that could be cool and at the same time really informative.
We needed to comunicate the latin ~vibes~ in this identity in a urban hip way, not um loads of color and different typographies. With that in mind we designed a exclusive type for titles and displays, the Maíz Sans.
 
Maíz Sans is a handrawed type inspired by the "gráficas populares" from latin cultures. Hand painted display signs from different countries in latin america.
 
Together with Maíz Sans, we used Maax to make a direct and clear communication with different publics
There's also a icon pattern with different food elements from latin gastronomy: arepa, popular beer glass, meat, bone, icecream, mandioca, among others.
 
This icon system, together with de different types forms the different graphic materials, such as posters, menus and others.
 
Color is always present.
The restaurant menu, divided in general plates (blue), drinks and desserts (yellow) and the daily plate combos (pink).
Posters that work as a signage for different types of latin food itens, gift for the clients and wallpaper inside the restaurants

The development of this website considered an easy navigation, it was a must that the viewer could scroll all the information in the easyiest way possible

The website makes all information necessary easily available. The story behind the restaurant, the menu, drinks, extras and contact, all in a single simple page. There's also a link to suri, the restaurant from the same owner.
