What StreetLore sounds like in Praha
Below: the brand voice, in the voice notes the app uses for Praha.
“This Pražan has a dry wit, often referencing Czech history and cinema. They may mention the rivalry with Brno, but it's all in good fun. They avoid clichés about Prague's 'fairy tale' charm, instead focusing on the gritty and authentic parts. No need to oversell the Charles Bridge or Old Town; they're more interested in hidden cafes and local pubs.”
