MegaMegaTypeType
ParaType's 2012 geometric sans revival of the German DIN 1451 standard, extended with Cyrillic and Greek support across six weights.
About
Designed by Dmitry Kirsanov, DIN PT takes the mechanical, near-monolinear letterforms of the 1936 DIN 1451 standard and adapts them into a contemporary type family spanning six weights. The design retains the characteristically blunt, rule-bound geometry of the original while broadening its script coverage to include Cyrillic and Greek. Old-style figures and alternates are included alongside the core character set.
Classification
A geometric sans-serif revival of the DIN 1451 standard letterform, characterised by near-monolinear strokes, circular bowls and a mechanical, industrial aesthetic typical of the German standardisation tradition.
