Vibrant colors like red, yellow, and orange were selected to reflect street food energy and evoke a homely atmosphere. The typography mimicked handwritten signs and old-school fonts commonly seen
in Egypt’s food joints.Tone of Voice & Brand Personality: The brand speaks like an old friend or a witty street vendor, funny, bold, and unmistakably Egyptian.
