The Minnesota North Shore stretches Lake Superior’s coastline between Duluth and the Canadian border. Minnesota State Highway 61, once part of US 61 (of Bob Dylan fame), runs along the cobblestone beach of the North Shore and continues to provide a scenic drive along one of the Great Lakes.
Those scenic drives along the coastal highway are part of the inspiration behind Studio MPLS‘s branding and packaging design for the upcoming North Shore coffee shop Sola Coffee Co. The type-forward approach gets balanced with an earthy color palette that works for various coffee blends and roasts, some of which have very different flavor profiles from far-flung regions worldwide.
