by Akira Kobayashi

DIN Next is a typeface family inspired by the classic industrial German engineering designs, DIN 1451 Engschrift and Mittelschrift published in 1931. Akira Kobayashi began by revising these two faces-who names just mean condensed and regular before expanding them into a new family with seven weights (Light to Black). Each weight ships in three varieties: Regular, Italic, and Condensed, bringing the total number of fonts in the DIN Next family to 21.

Each font includes small caps and oldstyle figures. DIN Next has been tailored especially for graphic designers, but its industrial heritage makes it surprisingly functional in just about any application or circumstance.

They did not intend for the design to be used for advertisements and other artistically oriented purposes. Nevertheless, because DIN 1451 was seen all over Germany on signs for town names and traffic directions, it became familiar enough to make its way onto the palettes of graphic designers and

advertising art directors. The digital version of DIN 1451 would go on to be adopted and used by designers in other countries as well, solidifying its worldwide design reputation. There are subtle differences in DIN Nexts letters when compared with the DIN 1451 original. These were added by Kobayashi to make the new family even more versatile in 21st-century media. For instance, although DIN 1451s corners are all pointed angles, DIN Next has rounded them all slightly. DIN Next may be used for any other graphic project, and it may be used for industrial signage in any other country!

DIN Next has 25 typefaces. Several aspects of the original DIN typeface design were changed, including the corner angles, which, instead of being squared off, were redesigned with a slight rounding.

DIN...is the magic word for everything that can be measured in Germany. Since it is available in digital form, this typeface has been picked up by many graphic designers for its lean, geometric lines.
