Typography & Design System

We didn’t rely on a single typeface. This menu uses a deliberate mix of styles: serif for the romantic headline tone, geometric sans serif for clarity, and italics to break hierarchy inside each dish name.

It’s not a random mix — it’s functional contrast. Classic typography helps frame the dining experience as thoughtful and crafted. The sans serif brings structure and readability. Together, they feel curated rather than ornamental.

Design Inspiration

The menu’s background wasn’t random. We built it from a visual reference rooted in traditional Colombian tile work — the kind of hydraulic tiles you still find in houses across Medellín or Cartagena.

This is how design feels intentional: not invented, but drawn from a place that already lives in the brand’s atmosphere.
