Pentagram’s work for Bar Americain is a study in classic, art deco style typography, simple structural layouts, and a semi-modern twist to give a fresh angle. The type is simple, but treated with layers of colored borders giving it texture and a bit of life. The deep hued color palette translates well into other applications, and sets up the use of oversized logo treatments on accompanying pieces like menus, matchbooks, and folders.
