SwissDin specimen from Newglyph

A geometric, DIN-inspired sans by Ian Party that channels Swiss design's preoccupation with form, structure and function into 20 styles and a variable font.

About

Designed by Ian Party at Newglyph, SwissDin applies an architectural, constructed logic to the Latin alphabet, drawing on the Swiss design tradition's rigour rather than any specific historical DIN specimen. The family spans 20 styles with 431 glyphs per style and is also available as a variable font with weight and italic axes. Language support covers a broad range of Latin-script languages from Afrikaans to Zulu.

Classification

SwissDin is described as architectural and constructed, drawing on DIN-style geometric rationalism and Swiss design principles of form, structure and function — placing it firmly in the geometric sans category.
