The essence of The Obsidian is captured in its logo, a striking fusion of custom typography and the modern high-contrast Antiqua font, Orianenbaum. Inspired by classic Antiqua fonts like Bodoni, Orianenbaum evokes the ornate Victorian era with its pronounced serifs, contrasting geometry, and dynamic interplay of angles and curves. The logo includes hand drawn ornamentation to further the elegant atmosphere of the restaurant. Let The Obsidian be your sanctuary, where every detail, from the menu to the design, invites you to embrace the allure of the mysterious
