Dinamo Typefaces · Dinamo (Johannes Breyer, Fabian Harb) with Andree Paat · 2020
A Swiss display sans of round and sharp, proportional and mono cuts, drawn over the bones of mid-century and post-modern Swiss design.
About
A display sans by Dinamo's Johannes Breyer and Fabian Harb with Andree Paat, with a skeleton that references mid-century and post-modern Swiss designs including Josef Muller-Brockmann's CWS word mark (1958) and Marlyse Schmid and Bernard Muller's Swatch logo (1981). Variable font technology lets weights stretch from Hairline to Black. In place of a standard italic, four subfamilies offer different emphasis: Round, Round Mono, Sharp and Sharp Mono. Reach for it on identity, fashion and music graphics that want a Swiss-trained voice with built-in spaghetti movement.
Classification
