“Milton & Small Beverage Co. was in need of a logo as well as a package design for their first product, a cold brew coffee. Their vision was an apothecary bottle. Rather than a literal translation, I used design components that had both an ornate and masculine look. My typefaces came from old type books and encyclopedias that I then set by hand. The imagery was based on antique bookplates. Along with the choice of bottle and printing method, the result is the impression of an apothecary bottle without it being self-consciously so.”
