Gill Sans Shadow
Congress
Gill Sans is all grown-up in this bold yet understated type treatment — reminding us all that the occasional Manhattan, alone, in a dark basement bar is not only acceptable, it’s sophisticated. With the sensual company of pewter paper and gold foil, who needs a date?
For Fox, an underground bar, we embraced a deep color palette on its business card. Sophisticated but not gaudy. To hint at the bar being downstairs we’ve gone with a portrait orientation card. We printed Gill Sans Shadow in black on Neenah Classic Crest pewter paper, then drew an in-line typeface printed in gold foil to respond to the lighting in the bar.
This post was published in the original layout of FPO so all images are smaller. Project descriptions as well as production lessons are quoted in the main content area.
