Why is DIN popping up everywhere?

Anyone else notice FF DIN is everywhere? advertisements, magazines, canadian broadcasting corp, CA armed forces, etc.

Is there something I missed that started this trend?

Actually, the trend started about 3 or 4 years ago. It may even be starting to wain by now.

Some might say "stop being sheep", others "bah humbug!"

Stephen Coles

Actually, Chris, you're right about the trend's beginnings, but it's not waning. I should be able to explain it, but I can't.

Perhaps Din is "The Meta of the 2000s" :-)

DIN or FF DIN?

Either way, people are learning to love Grotesks again, especially DIN and Akzidenz.
