• DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute of Standardisation), a school in Berlin • In 1936 the German Standard Committee selected DIN 1451 as the standardtypeface for use in the areas of engineering, technology, traffic, administration and business • The most widely-used of the DIN-1451 group was DIN-Mittelschrift (Medium), first released as a metal type as acetate stencils for smaller applications and as larger metal stencils for application to vehicles, train yards, street and building signage • By the late 1980’s, use of DIN typefaces were appearing in European and North American graphics work • In 1995, Dutch typeface designer Albert-Jan Pool redesigned DIN 1451 and 12/14 today used in signage and as a pop culture typeface

DinToday
Din font started on railway freight cars but is now used in everyday pop culture. IGN.com, a gaming review website, uses DIN to clearly analyze the topic of the day. The clean, bold, sizes of the font produces a nice layout and is easily legible for all viewers. Esquire magazine (Greek edition) uses different weights of DIN to boldly enhance the magazine. Apple’s IOS 7 uses DIN just for their update on the camera app. Movies like The Wolf of Wall Street use DIN for their announcement poster. Video games like Half-Life 2 and Portal 2 exercise this font with the different weights and added glyphs for their cover photo of the game.
