Metal Hammer Paradise website
Dapifer Black is the display typeface used on the Metal Hammer Paradise website. We think that’s an interesting choice, and a nice addition to the range of tones that Dapifer can express. The low-contrast slab by Darden Studio is mostly used for things like weddings, resumes, and haircare products. Here Dapifer proves that it also dares to enter the mosh pit.
The designers of Berlin-based studio Canvas & Frame used Dapifer exclusively in its heaviest weight, for almost everything including headlines, the line-up, menus, and button labels. Occasionally it’s being supported by another slab serif, Albiona by Device. Hanseatics took care of the web design and development.
Metal Hammer is a heavy metal music magazine and website founded in 1983. Its German branch has been organizing an annual festival in collaboration with FKP Scorpio since 2013. The tenth anniversary edition of this Metal Hammer Paradise took place in November 2023 in the Weißenhäuser Strand park at the Baltic coast. Headlined by thrash metal dinosaurs Kreator and Dutch symphonic metal band Epica, the event was fully sold out.
