The Spence by Hike
Opinion by Richard Baird Posted 17 April 2012
The Spence is an independent cafe bakery founded by Katherine Lockwood and located on Stoke Newington Church Street, London. The stores identity, designed by Joe Hinder working at Hike Design, blends a classic serif logo-type, a striking bright orange, black and cream colour palette, the tactile qualities of a stamp, canvas bag and uncoated substrate with a full bleed illustrated shop front across the business cards that together deliver a sense of tradition and locality but with a contemporary simplicity and functionality.
