CHESSMATE CAFE
CLIENT: DETROIT SOUND CONSERVANCY
The Detroit Sound Conservancy reached out with a very special request to recreate the signage of Detroit’s former Chessmate Cafe
as both a series of posters, and a usable font. I had so much fun and enjoyed the challenge of working from very limited
source material to create this font and bring the facade back to life.
Font development sketches and exploration
Final event posters
These posters were used both as social media images and physical flyers. The black and white version was intended to be wheatpasted and printed/copied cheaply onto various colors of paper as needed, to be placed around the event itself.
