    I like this font, good one to showcase. Very interesting article, too. It is great to be reminded that the things we use (and likely take for granted) everyday, have a long and complex history. Looking forward to the next one. So far I think DIN is definitely my type.

    yeah! Germany rules :D

    Great article. ;)

    I\'m a huge fan of this typeface, maybe it is because I am German or it is because it is just so well balance and almost untouchable in its power to convey meaning, anyway:

    Excellent article.
    Great work.

    Thanks.

    Oh wow, thank you for sharing. I respect DIN and only have learned a short history. Thank you for posting such a rich history of this face. :)

    I am very impartial to this font. At my work, this is one of the two fonts we are allowed to use (the other is Helvetica Insurat). It\'s good for signs and what, but not good at all for small body copy.

    where do you work? only being allowed to use 2 fonts sounds like the best idea ever.

    I think it is quite known that a restricted area of resources can increase creativity. Within the area.

    Of course not, that\'s what Helvetica is for. ;]
    (when you only have the two to pick from)

    I\'m glad I found the Know your type series, and looking forward eagerly to reading it all.

    Wow, the interface to that Encore article is atrocious, speaking of fonts and readability. I can\'t zoom in on it with my browser, so it\'s off the reading list. :(
