ExLibris Book Store Cafe

A brand identity for Ex Libris Bookstore Café, a new restaurant inspired by the Arts and Crafts Movement. In an era where technology often obscures the value of handmade quality and thoughtful design, Ex Libris re-centers craftsmanship as both a philosophy and a visual language. The identity blends historical influence with a contemporary sensibility, translating the movement’s emphasis on honesty, detail, and human touch into a modern context. A system of golden ratio–based grids structures the visual elements, revealing balance, harmony, and intention in every composition. Through this approach, the brand celebrates the inherent beauty of well-crafted design while creating a warm, timeless identity that feels both intellectual and inviting.
