DIN 1451 is a sans-serif typeface that is widely used for traffic,
|
|
administrative and technical applications. It was defined by the German
|
|
standards body DIN - Deutsches Institut fur Normung (German Institute for
|
|
Standardization) in the standard sheet DIN 1451-Schriften (typefaces) in
|
|
1931. Similar standards existed for stencilled letters.
|
|
|
|
Originally designed for industrial uses, the first DIN-type fonts were a
|
|
simplified design that could be applied with limited technical difficulty.
|
|
Due to the design's legibility and uncomplicated, unadorned design, it has
|
|
become popular for general purpose use in signage and display adaptations.
|
|
Many adaptations and expansions of the original design have been released
|
|
digitally.

|
|
create several styles, for internal use and to be open sourced under a SIL
|
|
OFL v1.1 license.
