DAT KAP
DAT KAP is a self-initiated café brand built around a single gesture — pointing at that cup, the one worth walking for. The name is a phonetic nod to the Polish way of saying it, half-Polish half-English, the kind of thing overheard between friends across a counter.

The logomark is a black disc with a coffee cup tucked inside — small, unfussy, a stamp rather than a crest. Around it, the identity runs on a different kind of sign: cut-out greyscale photographs of hands, pointing, reaching, cupping, directing. It's a café brand identity built to feel overheard rather than performed, casual enough to live on a strip of packing tape and sharp enough to hold a billboard.

The visual system pairs saturated flat colour — electric pink, ultramarine, grass green, yellow, orange — with a bold condensed sans and collaged greyscale hands. The effect reads closer to a gig poster or zine than to a specialty coffee brand, which was the intention. The identity scales without softening, from a sticker on a cookie box to a bus-stop lightbox at night.
