Nova restaurant, Sint-Niklaas
Corbin Mahieu and Victor Verhelst collaborated on a bold new identity for Nova, combining unconventional monochrome illustrations and a logotype made with Ursa Mono by Tekio with classy typography featuring Gaisyr by Dinamo Typefaces. On the website, the latter is substituted by Libre Baskerville by Impallari Type.
