![]() FontShop never included the acronym FF in the font names, but together with my name (among others) as the designer of FF DIN, you can find FF DIN in the font files. I hope that I may clarify the issue with the following information: In the name DIN OT “OT” stands for OpenType, “DIN” stands for FF DIN and “FF” stands for FontFont, FontShop’s label for its exclusive library of typefaces, now owned by Monotype. In the past I have received several questions on DIN OT. So I’m quite happy you ended up using FF DIN :-) And I do hope you still like it!ĭear thekvd, visitors of this thread & those who are looking for DIN OT, DINOT etc. And of course the four fonts offered there are, as with many other typefaces at DaFont, illegal copies :–( So the image you see at DaFont is not DIN 1451, but FF DIN. Note that DIN 1451 never had old style figures, italic styles, lighter and blacker weights etc. Until 1995, DIN 1451 only consisted of two styles, DIN Mittelschrift (Medium) and DIN Engschrift (Medium Condensed) and it was not expanded by DIN or Linotype. FF DIN, designed in 1995, was the first revival of the DIN 1451 typefaces. Linotype/Adobe released it as PostScript fonts after that but used URW data instead. Linotype digitised it for their typesetting systems a few years later. It was redesigned in 1980 by Adolf Gropp. It was first issued as a lettering model in 1932 as part of the German Standard DIN 1451 for public lettering. We might be talking about different things but DIN OT as offered through DaFont here: is definitely not DIN 1451. Sorry to say, but the information you give here is not completely correct. Even searching the foundry listed in the personal license points me here.Īm I crazy? I've seen it used enough that I hoped someone here would know who the heck makes DINOT and where I can get the full license. It's close, but the shapes of several letters are slightly different. Every hit for DINOT points me to DIN 2014. Given that I'll be doing a lot of commercial work for it, including web design, I would rather have the official commercial license/webkit/shebang. In this case I will be working on a full identity package based off of artwork from a different designer. Generally, when I was just printing, I use whatever they supply and send it off. ![]() To the best I can find this is a "free font" from sights like DaFont and what have you. I've had this come up from clients many times. In this case I know the font, but I'm confused. I hope I'm not treading into identify this font territory.
