NOHO Basement – compact menu in a dark theme

NOHO in Copenhagen needed a menu that fits a lot of information on a few pages while remaining easy to read in low light. A dedicated “Basement” version was required for the nightclub area with a darker, edgier look. The challenge was balancing information density, clear typography and a visual style that matches the venue.

  • Compact layout: grid and clear hierarchy to present many items without clutter.
  • Legibility in low light: contrast-tested palette, type choices with good x-height and spacing.
  • Dark theme: Basement variant with dark background, neon accents and graphic details.
  • Category navigation: icons, subheads and price lines for quick scanning.
  • Production: stock selection, print profiles and finish optimised for bar wear and tear.

Deliverables

  • Art direction and visual theme for main menu and Basement version
  • Typographic system, icons and price styling
  • Layouts for few pages with high information density
  • Press-ready PDFs, colour management and production tests

Outcome

A menu that’s easy to navigate—even in low light—while reinforcing NOHO’s brand. The dark Basement edition feels like a natural part of the venue’s atmosphere, and the compact layout makes updates and reprints straightforward. Practical to run, distinctive in expression.
