About
A layered display by Dinamo founders Johannes Breyer and Fabian Harb, inspired by a 1970s phototypesetting typeface made from stacked layers like the rings of an onion. Custom software lets six basic outlines be grouped into 63 different combinations, each available individually or as a complete set. The font is entirely uppercase and includes fractions, roman numerals, arrows and ligatures, with alternative narrow and tighter characters for less chunky settings. Reach for it on posters, identity and editorial covers that want a slow, considered chunkiness.
