The third style, Breitschrift (Extended) stopped being used in the 1980s, but can still be found on some older signs. Based on it, the German Institute designed in the 1930s the DIN 1451 typeface, which quickly became standard for road signs and car numbers among others.ĭIN 1451 had originally 3 styles, of which 2 are still in use to this day: DIN 1451 Mittelschrift (regular) and DIN 1451 Engschrift (condensed – for use only when space constrains make the usage of Mittelschrift impossible). It has a long and rich history that begins way back in the 1900s when the Prussian railways company created a lettering set for its own use. The sans-serif typeface DIN’s name is an acronym for Deutsches Institut für Normung, which translates as German Institute of Standardization.
