After seeing it--holy shit! But you asked me to.

In 1994, in San Francisco, Albert-Jan Pool and Erik Spiekermann took a cab together from the ATypI conference to the airport. Spiekermann knew that Pool’s employer went bust, so he told him that if he wanted to earn some money with type design, he should have a look at fonts such as OCR and DIN. At the same time, he invited Pool to Berlin to discuss the idea in detail. One year later, FontFont published Pool’s typeface FF OCR-F, followed by the family FF DIN. Spiekermann had the skill to point out an empty space in the market. Digital DIN fonts were available at that time, however, only in two weights and solely in pure geometric shape. Pool designed a family of five weights, he added true italics and also some alternative characters, such as the “i” with a round dot and the lower case figures. With time, five weights of DIN Condensed were added, as well as Greek and Cyrillic versions. The shape of the new FF DIN differs from the original mostly by thinner horizontal strokes and by more fluent curves. Despite its primitive, technical look and the clear reference to the German motorway signboards, FF DIN became a phenomenon. The typeface has even pervaded book and magazine typography, and it found its place in posters of cultural institutions. With this in mind, Czech design magazine TYPO asked Albert-Jan Pool for an interview about FF DIN when they met him at the Typo Berlin conference in 2005.

In your lectures at Typo Berlin, you described the evolution of the FF DIN typeface. So, was it created to fill in a gap in the market?

It is part of the story. Erik Spiekermann saw the old DIN typeface on the market in two weights and he noticed that several designers began using it. And he thought: “why is this happening?” These were leading designers, he saw them going on and he thought: “Hm, we should do something about it. Why do they use this unusable typeface? Let’s ask someone who can make something useful out of it. Then it might work even better.”

And aren’t you thinking about expanding it into more styles? Creating FF DIN Serif, FF DIN Round...

I am working on the rounded version. I am also working on stencil, on extended, on monospaced. There are many things being developed.

Is it still fun for you to stick with one concept and expand it?

On one hand, type design is creative. You think of something new and try it out, and find out what it should be like, but at the same point, the production process starts. For example, when you have an “o”, you might make an “e” out of it, or when you have an “n”, you might transform it into an “h”. The work must thus be perfect from the very beginning, because otherwise, if you decide to make the font a bit wider, you’d have to start all over again. You must be aware of what you are doing from the very beginning. It is unlike many other professions — for example, when you work on an advertising campaign, you may keep changing the motifs. The executive officer says: “We will not bring this up. It is just impossible.” And two weeks later, the ad must be on TV or on billboards.
Grids that match FF DIN

You took a German sign typeface, extended it to a family, and now you can see it in works of typographers all around the world. You can find FF DIN in newspaper headlines, flyers or even books. How do you feel about having responsibility for spreading German culture, German geometric style?

There is not that much responsibility, because a typeface cannot lead to a disaster, I hope. I do not work for those who deal with atomic energy, for example, and my work could not lead to the invention of a nuclear weapon. A bad typeface does not really hurt. Compared to warfare, my work brings no serious responsibility. I think FF DIN serves certain needs. For example, the designers of Geo Magazine use FF DIN, also its black version, combined with Collis, a very sophisticated text typeface, created by Christoph Noordzij, one of my old schoolmates.
Alphabets
This shows a great contrast — FF DIN is very mechanical, very bold and striking. So there is one typeface that serves reading and a second one which suggests information, suggests legibility

This is the principle of information design — you read a traffic sign and you accept it as pure information. You don’t need to think it over again. Berlin is Berlin, what else could it be? The simplicity invites people to get into it. If you would set the whole magazine in a sophisticated text typeface, people would think that it is aimed at very educated people, that it would be too complicated, and that they could never understand it. So, the typeface serves certain purposes, and therefore it is good that it exists.

You say that FF DIN “tells the truth”, that it is a serious neutral typeface, that it is something that works in Germany, but it wouldn’t work the same way for example in Britain, because they use a more decorative style.
A preliminary version of DIN 1451 from 1931

Yes, FF DIN is neutral, but it is not as neutral as Univers, because FF DIN has not been made perfect. It has a simple appearance. Its forms suggest that it is easy to read. And it is neutral and somehow objective. But that is the way how people look at things. When you tell people something about type design, they would always come up with the idea that Futura is probably the best legible typeface, because people understand how the forms are being made — this is a circle, this is a triangle…. People think that if they can understand how letters are being constructed, they can also read them easily, but that is nonsense. One doesn’t need to understand the way letters are made before one gets to read them.
DIN Engrischrift compared to FF DIN

There are two different views of FF DIN. People were used to seeing it for tens of years, but when I first saw it in a printed magazine, the typeface was new. It was completely different, so fresh, so new, so modern. And I think this is also the way it is used outside of Germany.

Yes, foreign typographers use it for different reasons. It is new, it is practical, it has a certain quality, and it seems like it hasn’t been around until now. Designers are the sort of people who get fed up with what they are doing very easily. They are always looking for something new. Which is in fact irrational, because from the rational point of view, you could say: “Well, we have Univers, the family is bigger, it has been redrawn recently, its proportions are perhaps ideal, the form solutions are better, because there is no constructivist idea behind it. It is good, it works, why shouldn’t we use it forever?” But the public also looks for something new. It is always nice to have a new shirt, new shoes, a new computer. So they like FF DIN, because it is new.
FF DIN (gray) and the original (outline)

FF DIN is also used as a corporate font of the Czech National Theatre. It is perhaps odd that a traffic typeface is used by one of the most admired Czech cultural institutions which played a leading role in the national revival movement against German culture of Prague in the 19th Century. It is similar to the use of FF DIN in Centre Pompidou in Paris. I am sure that Ruedi Baur knew that he was using German Typeface.
Pompideau

One of my colleagues, a graphic designer, went to Paris for her holiday, and she came back saying: “Did you know that all the signs in the Centre Pompidou are designed using FF DIN?” She also brought a booklet on the Centre Pompidou by Ruedi Baur, that’s where I found the pictures for my lecture. I was about 13 years old when I first saw the Centre Pompidou. It has been on my architectural top-ten ever since, so seeing FF DIN there was fascinating. Besides that, Centre Pompidou is famous worldwide, so I wanted to use the pictures showing FF DIN in Centre Pompidou in my future lectures immediately.
Energy

So I called Ruedi Baur to ask him for the pictures and he sent them to me. I have been telling people about this, and this is how I came to hear about the discussion. Before Baur came in, there was a French designer who designed the interior and the guiding system. And many people didn’t like Baur’s changes. But I haven’t traced the discussion yet. I did not read any articles. I did not even discuss it with Ruedi Baur. Maybe Ruedi was a bit rude in taking a “German Industry Standard Typeface” for such a prestigious French place. But on the other hand, one must admit that it fits very well with the architecture.
So, there are always several reasons for using a certain typeface: one is that it looks nice, second is that it is legible, and the third is that it goes well with the historical and cultural background.

But if we weren’t brave enough, we would always use black on white and typefaces like Garamond. Then, people would not notice that things change. Not only the designers need new impulses, also the general public does. You only notice a change in the content when its appearance changes too — you would not believe that, for instance, a magazine has hired new journalists and has changed its editorial style, if the layout remained the same. People think these things belong together. In the same way, when two companies merge, people will only believe in the new beginning if the company gets a new name, a new logotype, so they can see it on their new business cards.

Eastern European designers like the FF DIN typeface. It might be an answer to your question why so many car producing companies choose FF DIN for their advertising campaigns - an uneducated Czech designer who has some doubts uses FF DIN he cannot go wrong.

Yes, just like the British printers were taught — “If in doubt, use Caslon.” But FF DIN is now something like Helvetica. Once, Helvetica was also new and fresh. Of course, there was Akzidenz Grotesk behind it, but the Helvetica family was bigger, it was available for more machines of the time, for more systems, it was licensed to several others. So it was new, it was available, it was nice, and it was promoted by many typographers so it became a kind of world-wide fashion. Just like blue jeans.

new day. Lets see what i got in here.

John McCain’s daughter Meghan has a message for conservative talk-show host Laura Ingraham: “Kiss my fat ass.”

Last week, Ingraham mocked McCain on her radio show after the daughter of former GOP presidential nominee John McCain urged Republicans to seek compromise with Democrats. Ingraham called McCain “a Valley Girl gone awry” and a “plus-sized model.”

McCain, who writes about politics and her personal life for The Daily Beast, went on The View on Monday to fight back.

“What do young women think when I speak my mind about politics and I want to have a political discussion about the ideological future of the Republican Party, and the answer is, ‘She’s fat, she shouldn’t have an opinion.’ What kind of message are we sending young women?” she asked.

“It infuriates me,” she said. “I’m a political writer on a blog, and all of a sudden I’m too fat to write?”

The View’s conservative co-host, Elizabeth Hasselbeck, called Ingraham’s remarks “a low blow.”

McCain said she felt like Tyra Banks when the model “went on her show in her bathing suit and said, ‘Kiss my fat ass.’”

“That’s what I feel right now,” McCain said. “I’m like, ‘Kiss my fat ass!’”

Ingraham quickly responded to McCain once again on her show, telling McCain that she needs to learn to deal with satire and “teasing.”

“Can I say ‘lighten up,’ or is that offensive too?” Ingraham asked.
