You may recognize Din and not even know it— it’s most popular for it’s use in traffic signs around the world. Created in Germany in 1931, Din actually stands for Deutsches Institut für Normung, or the German Institute for Standardization. Din’s clean, grid-based type was meant to convey simple messages quickly with it’s wide spacing and slight thinning on the curved strokes.
