Sam Bufalo is a documentary family and wedding photographer based in Stamford, Connecticut. We designed the brand identity and website for Sam that evokes emotions inspired by moments reminding you of old footage, handheld cameras from the 1970s, messy but real moments.

Sometimes Times, designed by Sam G. Hughes, is used as the main header and accent typeface. It is a timeless serif integrating contemporary aesthetics to classic form, inspired by individualistic old-style serifs and mid-1990s culture. For body copy, we used Courier Prime by Alan Dague-Greene, which brings to mind typewriters and computer programming. Courier Prime adds a sparse, minimal and “undesigned” feel to the identity.

Located in the heart of Warsaw's Wolf building, Ravens is a unique café focused on cocoa and superfood blends in drinks and baked goods. We wanted its identity to be elegantly modern, with an almost apothecary-like recipe heritage feel with a little energetic accent in the colour palette. Come and see it for yourselves—this autumn will be all about a great cup of cocoa with a slice of delicious tart.
