Typography

Two families, two roles: Gokan for the logotype and headings, Raleway for the menu text.

Text & menusRalewayThinLightRegularBoldHeavy
12345Cap heightx-heightBaselineDescender
  1. 1Flat apexThe A doesn’t end in a point: its apex is cut cleanly, horizontally.
  2. 2Low crossbarThe A’s crossbar sits low: the inner triangle stretches and the letter gains elegance.
  3. 3Oval bowlThe bowl of the g forms an open, even oval.
  4. 4Curved footThe a ends in a small curved foot, one of Raleway’s signatures.
  5. 5Hook of the gThe g’s descender curves back up in an open hook.

A fine, elegant sans-serif used for the menu text: dish names, descriptions and prices. Its lightness balances Gokan’s strength.

Logotype & headingsRegular
12345Cap heightx-heightBaselineDescender
  1. 1Stencil cutsA fine cut runs through each letter, like a stencil: in the A, the a and the g.
  2. 2Softened cornersThe blocks are massive, but their outer corners are slightly rounded.
  3. 3BevelThe top of the a is bevelled with a clean stroke.
  4. 4Rounded bowlOnly the bowl of the a is rounded, contrasting with the straight shapes.
  5. 5Massive descenderThe g’s descender forms a solid block, as wide as the letter.

A very bold, block-shaped display face used for the “Oni Qui Riz” logotype and menu headings. Its sharp cuts give it a strong character.
