Blok Design has crafted the brand identity for The Frederick, a new bar and grill in the heart of downtown Toronto. Named in tribute to Frederick Henry Herbert, the building’s original architect, The Frederick’s visual language captures the spirit of convivial gathering and understated sophistication that defines the venue.

The identity skillfully balances contemporary boldness and timeless elegance, evoking a space that feels both refined and playfully expressive. The logotype was created with Nord by VJ-Type. Diatype Condensed by Dinamo and Store Norske Leif by Skriftkompani form the supporting typographic palette, each contributing to the restaurant’s distinctive and welcoming atmosphere. Diatype Condensed brings modern clarity and efficiency, while Leif introduces warmth and character, allowing the identity to shift seamlessly between formal and informal contexts.
