Problem :

Traditional Eastern European foods are often associated with outdated visuals and heavy, overly rustic branding.
The challenge was to create a brand that feels:

  • modern but authentic

  • bold but warm

  • culturally rooted but globally appealing

And visually unique among food brands dominated by standard typography and predictable color palettes.

Solution :

Creating a Custom Font & Hand-Drawn Signature Elements

To make the brand unmistakably personal and memorable, I created: Custom Font & Hand-Drawn Signature Elements

Inspired by:

  • Ukrainian folk shapes of ornaments

  • Bold geometric forms found in traditional embroidery

The custom typeface gives BORCH & More a distinct voice — playful, warm, and full of character.

Visual Identity

Color Palette:

  • Deep beetroot red

  • Fresh green (dill)

  • Warm neutrals for balance

  • Cream tones for a cozy, home-cooked feel

Typography:

  • Custom BORCH & More display font

  • Clean sans-serif for readability

Graphic Style:

  • Organic shapes

  • Bold blocks of color

  • Hand-drawn textures

  • Home made food photography

  • Photography of Ukrainian nature

Photography Direction:

  • Overhead shots

  • Natural light

  • Warm, real moments — steam, texture, color

Summary

The final identity is bold, modern, and unmistakably connected to its roots.
The custom font and hand-drawn elements give BORCH & More a distinctive handmade personality that stands out on shelves and digital platforms. The visuals communicate warmth, joy, and authenticity while remaining fresh, clean, and contemporary.
