MioBar
This project presents the renewal of MioBar into Gran Caffe Mio after thirteen years of operation. The design outcome includes a leaflet, a photo book, and a custom typeface that express the refined yet approachable atmosphere of the transformed interior. Inspired by Italian cafe culture, the project uses architectural curves as typographic motifs and integrates photography to document spatial qualities and human presence. It frames the cafe as a space for social interaction within its local context.
