Ember & Grain — restaurant brand identity

Brand identity for a New American, farm-to-table restaurant — seasonal, warm, refined.

The thinking

A farm-to-table concept lives or dies on a feeling — that what's on the plate was chosen with care, this season, by people who give a damn. The brand's job is to make that feeling legible before the first bite: a warm, seasonal identity that makes a changing menu feel like a story rather than a list.

How it's built

A complete identity — wordmark, palette, and an editorial site system on the Crystal design tokens — so the same brand language carries from the logo to the menu page. Photography-led, menu-forward art direction keeps the food the hero.
