About

Vtg Stencil DIN digitises the stencil plates used across German industry and railways, based on the 1930s DIN 1451 standard. The Regular is cited in the current DIN specification; Alt keeps the older a, 6 and 9 still used by Deutsche Bahn; Solid removes the bridges for web use. Fabric, Halftone and Rough add weathered variants with a glyph rotator.

Classification
