Dinamo Typefaces · Dinamo (Johannes Breyer), original by Rob Roy Kelly · 2011
A polygonal wood-type display drawn by Johannes Breyer from a Rob Roy Kelly sample, smooth at small sizes and brutal at large.
About
A display face by Johannes Breyer based on a sample from Rob Roy Kelly's American Wood Type: 1829-1900, redrawn so its inner and outer contours are made of polygons rather than smooth curves. The result reads softly at body size and reveals jagged edges at billboard scale. Comes in Regular and Condensed widths with a thin monolinear punctuation set added in 2012.
Classification
Dinamo describes Bingo as Johannes Breyer's first hit, drawn in 2011 while he was an intern at NORM and based on a sample published in Rob Roy Kelly's American Wood Type 1829-1900, with inner and outer contours drawn with polygons so the shapes read smooth at small scale and brutal when large.
