For the design of Pye, CI Studio Dublin (Rachel Kerr, Philip Mitton) used the typefaces Minérale by Thomas Huot-Marchand (205TF) and Maison Mono by Timo Gaessner (Milieu Grotesque).
Here is more information from the 100 Archive website:
PYE is a new space for eating, working and sharing ideas located on the top floor of the Omnicom London HQ. Omnicom is one of world’s leading creative groups and its HQ buildings look to the area for the naming of its internal spaces. The former Pye Gardens situated nearby was our starting point and shaped the visual language. As Pye is old English for pie, many of the graphic elements are rooted in this visual vernacular. The main typeface is formed from intersecting triangles which convey a piece of pie. This is emphasised through mixed tones forming each character, bringing an abstract aesthetic to signage and messaging.
Pattern is derived from retro starburst and perforated contemporary pie tins. Copy is whimsical, inspired by the phrase ‘pie in the sky’. Collaborating with the interior architects and the restaurant operators, the identity is established across touch points such as signage, environmental graphics, experiential design, print and packaging, creating a playful dining workspace.
