Synt
Dinamo Typefaces · Kaj Lehmann
A unitised reimagining of 19th century modern faces by Kaj Lehmann, built on a parametric stem rhythm and three distinct styles of italic slant.
About
Drawn from a typeface used in Theodore Low De Vinne's 1900 printing, Synt brings a strict parametric rhythm to the didone tradition, maintaining equal spacing between and within every stem. The family spans six weights with true italics at 16°, a slanted variant at the same angle and a Turbo Slant at 32°, all accessible via a variable font file. A monospaced cut and a set of musical glyphs extend its usefulness across apps, podcasting and streaming platforms.
Classification
Synt is described as a reimagining of 19th century modern faces, drawing from a typeface used in an 1900 book by Theodore Low De Vinne, placing it firmly in the didone/modern serif tradition with its emphatic vertical contrast and unitised rhythm.
