FF DIN is a sans-serif typeface in the industrial or "grotesque" style. It was designed in 1995 by Albert-Jan Pool, based on DIN-Mittelschrift and DIN-Engschrift, as defined in the German standard DIN 1451. DIN is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung (German Institute of Standardisation).[2] It was published by FontShop in its FontFont library of typefaces.[3][4]
FF DIN has an unadorned appearance with high x-height and a large series of weights.[5] It became very popular: as of September 2017[update], it remained the best-selling typeface on MyFonts.[6]
