Logo with Dapifer Italic







Dapifer is the main typeface used for the identity and website of Cerise.

Cerise is the French word for “cherry”. It’s also the abbreviated name of a neighborhood association in Paris’s 1st arrondissement: C.E.R.I.S.E. stands for Carrefour Echanges Rencontre Insertion Saint-Eustache, which can be translated to “junction, exchange, encounter, integration [in the parish of] Saint-Eustache”. Since 1999, it runs a sociocultural center that hosts various cultural events and activities and offers support to those in need.

In 2019, the center’s visual identity was overhauled. The red hexagonal logo holds a stylized cherry with the name shown as the curved stem, in custom script lettering. Below, the claim (“a living and cultural space in the heart of Paris”) is set in Dapifer’s lively italic.

Text and headlines on the website are set in various weights and styles of both Dapifer and Dapifer Stencil. Darden Studio’s unbracketed old-style serif is supported by Anivers, a sans by Jos Buivenga, for menus and information boxes. This typographic mix is enriched by changing display typefaces.
