du cabral is a gastronomic consultant whose work brings rustic cooking into a contemporary, informal setting. the identity needed to reflect his strong personality and passion for food, translating the character of his cooking into a recognisable visual language. craft and precision provided the connection between the culinary work and the design.
a custom typeface was constructed on a grid inspired by the precision of a chef's knife. cuts at forty-five degrees shape the symbol and extend into graphic fragments, creating patterns and divisions across the layouts. these elements organise information while giving different applications a common rhythm. the system carries the same combination of rigour and informality from the lettering into the brand's everyday materials.
