KAPU

Menus, packaging, photography and a bilingual website for KAPU, a café-bar with two Athens locations, Kypseli and Kallithea, and a third opening in Chalandri. KAPU already had its logo; the work was everything built around it: a Greek/English menu, a cocktail menu, a takeaway menu, cup packaging, and an EN/EL website.

Kypseli and Kallithea are open; Chalandri is opening next. The website is a working preview on Netlify.

01 / Starting point

An existing mark, made to work everywhere

KAPU already had its logo when I started. My work was everything that had to carry it: the type system, the menus, the cups, the takeaway material, the photography and the website.

Greek and English get the same structure rather than one being the translation: the website has a full set of pages in each language, and switching language keeps you on the page you were reading.

02 / Menus

Cocktails, coffee and takeaway, one system

The cocktail menu pairs each drink's ingredients in English with a short Greek note on the story behind its name. The takeaway menu runs to seven pages, from coffee to a back page with both locations' addresses.

03 / Cups and physical applications

The same decisions, off the page

Built as a single system rather than location-specific documents: shared type hierarchy, shared grid, and a consistent treatment of Greek and English so neither location's guest notices a difference in how the menu behaves. The system extends across formats — the core food menu, the cocktail menu, the takeaway flyer, and cup packaging — using the same typographic and structural decisions throughout rather than a one-off look per piece.

04 / Bilingual website

Two languages, two locations, two menus

A Next.js site with English and Greek on their own routes: switching language keeps you on the same page. The café and bar menus are read from data files rather than typed into pages, and each location has its own page with hours, directions and ordering links.

06 / Output

The logo was already there. My part was the system around it, applied the same way across both locations, the menus, the cups and a bilingual website.
