The Ridgeback is more modern while the hangar more homestyle.

Solution : Font that feels laid-back and welcoming yet stylish and slightly retro for diner feel. Both have a "g" with strong character that ties stores together. Predominant colors found in the cafes were incorporated into scheme. The "Market language was brought in with banner to emphasize newness and separate concept. Feels eclectic but streamlined to appeal to a wide age range, but predominately the main audience of 20 to 40 year old neighborhood urbanites.
