Afër means nearby.

The name is an Albanian word, and it is the whole idea: the shop on your street, the driver two minutes away, the neighbour selling the bike. This page holds the marks, the colour and the type, and the files to download if you need them.

The name

Afër, and Afer

Two spellings, one brand. Which one you use depends on whether the character survives.

Afër

With the diaeresis. This is the Albanian spelling and the correct one wherever the character renders properly: headlines, body copy, printed material, the Albanian site.

Afer

Without it. Correct and preferred wherever the character would break or be transliterated: URLs, handles, email addresses, app store listings, plain-text systems.

Saying it, and not writing it

It is pronounced roughly AH-fuhr, two syllables, stress on the first.

It is never written AFER, Afer App, afér or A-fer. The wordmark is set in lower case and stays that way, including at the start of a sentence.

Marks

The wordmark and the brand mark

The wordmark is the default. The brand mark stands in for it only where a wide logo will not fit.

Using them

Do not recolour either mark, stretch it, rotate it, add a shadow or set it in a box that crops the letters. On a dark background use the marks as they are; they carry their own contrast. Do not place them on a busy photograph.

Do not use the marks to suggest a partnership, endorsement or affiliation that does not exist.

Colour

Purple on white

One purple, one near-black, and greys for everything that is not the point.

Brand purple#5B21D6
Purple, pressed#3F1699
Ink#111827
Muted text#6B7280
Line#E5E7EB

The marks themselves carry a gradient between the purples. Flat #5B21D6 is correct for everything else: buttons, links, accents.

Type

Inter, and not much else

Inter, at four weights. Nothing else is used anywhere.

Words

How we describe ourselves

Copy any of these as they are. They say the same thing in five languages and are kept in step with each other.

One line

Afer is one app for food delivery, taxis, a local marketplace and groceries, paid from a single prepaid wallet and built around a public trust score.

English

Afer is one app for everyday local life: food delivery from local restaurants, a taxi with the fare set before you ride, a marketplace where every seller carries a public trust score, and grocery delivery from shops people already know. Everything is paid from one prepaid wallet, so no cash changes hands, and an inspection can be ordered before money is released on anything expensive. Afer launches city by city in Albania and is available on iOS and Android.

Shqip

Afër është një aplikacion për jetën e përditshme lokale: dërgesa ushqimi nga restorantet pranë, taksi me çmimin e vendosur para udhëtimit, një pazar ku çdo shitës ka një rezultat publik besimi, dhe ushqimore nga dyqanet që i njihni tashmë. Gjithçka paguhet nga një kuletë e parapaguar, pra nuk ndërrojnë duar para në dorë, dhe për sendet e shtrenjta mund të porositet një inspektim para se të lirohen paratë. Afër hapet qytet pas qyteti në Shqipëri dhe ofrohet për iOS dhe Android.

Français

Afer est une application unique pour la vie locale au quotidien : livraison de repas depuis les restaurants du quartier, taxi dont le prix est fixé avant la course, marketplace où chaque vendeur affiche un score de confiance public, et livraison de courses depuis les commerces que l’on connaît déjà. Tout se règle depuis un portefeuille prépayé, sans espèces, et une inspection peut être commandée avant le versement pour les achats coûteux. Afer ouvre ville par ville en Albanie, sur iOS et Android.

Deutsch

Afer ist eine App für den lokalen Alltag: Essenslieferung von Restaurants aus der Nachbarschaft, ein Taxi mit vorab festgelegtem Preis, ein Marktplatz, auf dem jeder Verkäufer einen öffentlichen Vertrauenswert trägt, und Lebensmittellieferung aus bekannten Geschäften. Bezahlt wird alles aus einem Prepaid-Wallet, Bargeld wechselt nie den Besitzer, und bei teuren Käufen lässt sich vor der Auszahlung eine Prüfung beauftragen. Afer startet Stadt für Stadt in Albanien und ist für iOS und Android verfügbar.

Español

Afer es una sola app para la vida local diaria: comida a domicilio de restaurantes del barrio, taxi con la tarifa fijada antes de subir, un mercado donde cada vendedor lleva una puntuación de confianza pública, y la compra a domicilio de tiendas que ya conoces. Todo se paga desde un monedero prepago, sin efectivo de por medio, y en las compras caras se puede pedir una inspección antes de liberar el dinero. Afer abre ciudad por ciudad en Albania y está disponible en iOS y Android.
