TASSE

DOES TASSE FIT?

Notes on typeface:

TASSE
-stylistically compatible? if so, how? (bold, chunky, heavy)

-connotatively compatible? (The past, nostalgia for bygone era)

LOGO COMBINATIONS (NEXT 2 SLIDES)

Untitled Slide

Type color: blur your eyes, notice the "blackness" or "grayness" of the type.

Note how type "color" of subheading with Tasse is actually heavier than that of the Prairie logotype, and ends up competing with the logo for dominance.

With Nexa substituted, the correct hierarchy is restored, placing main visual emphasis, both in terms of weight and expressiveness, on the logotype.

LOGO & NEXA (BOTTOM 2)

BOTH MORE "OPEN" IN LOOK AND FEEL
