About
A modern face by Kaj Lehmann for Dinamo, drawn from a typeface used in a 1900 book by commercial printer Theodore Low De Vinne and reframed for apps, podcasting and streaming. Synt's parametric rhythm holds an identical distance between and within every stem, and the family ships with six weights, a Mono cut and three styles of italics: True Italics (16 degrees), a Slanted variation (16 degrees), and a Turbo Slant at 32 degrees. The variable font slides through the full slant range. Stylistic sets cover Schoolbook alternates, Beethoven alternates (b, d, q, p), centred dieresis, alternate '@', and circled numbers.
Classification
Dinamo describe Synt as a unitised reimagining of 19th-century modern faces complete with variable slant modulation and an emphatic rhythm, taking its logic and shapes from a typeface used in a 1900 book by influential commercial printer Theodore Low De Vinne.
