case study

humphrey’s counter

a wellington sandwich counter, built to live online.

blurstate’s first paid client. a design-led indie deli that behaves like a culture brand — identity-driven, type-led, and native to the feed. we built the brand, the site, the signage, and the launch content from the counter up.

the work

shot on site.

the food, the bread, the merch, the counter — real photography from the shop, feeding straight into launch. more coming as the counter keeps moving.

what we did

a whole counter, launched.

01

brand identity

A type-led, design-led identity for a modern deli — a wordmark and system built to live online first, not just above the door.

02

website + brand kit

A light, fast site and a brand kit the counter can run itself with — colour, type, and layout rules that stay consistent across every post.

03

signage + content

Sign designs for the shopfront, plus an on-site shoot — fit-out, counter, food, and signage — feeding real photography straight into launch.

05

the result

we’re open. wellington, come meet the counter.

a brand that opened with its own voice already intact — design-led, online-first, ready for the feed on day one.
