The story of @abcdinamo
Everyone in the design world who’s made more than 2 posters knows abc Dinamo but how did they come to be?
I love fonts, but even when I was in school, I struggled with falling in love with type design. There is an interview done with @itsnicethat where they spoke on how it all happened by accident, they designed fonts to be part of something bigger but found themselves liking the process so much that eventually they just did the fonts.
I’m doing a part 2 about the direction + campaigns of Dinamo which will be out soon!
Let me know what you think!

@aredotna вместе с @abcdinamo выкатили новый шрифт Areal — полностью перерисованную версия классического Arial!
Изначально Are.na использовала Arial, потому что он воспринимался как максимально «нейтральный» шрифт, который не мешает контенту. Arial считался «нелюбимым», «некрутым» и потому подходил для платформы, которая хотела быть фоном, а не объектом дизайна.
Dinamo подошли к этому как к арт-проекту: исследовали историю Arial (от создания в 1982 году до его включения в Windows и «Core fonts for the web» в 1996), отыскали старые версии шрифта через компьютерных архивистов и перерисовали его по скриншотам.
В итоге Areal выглядит почти так же, как Arial, но сделан аккуратнее: выровнены штрихи, добавлены новые символы и лигатуры, создана моноширинная и «semi-mono» версия.
Смысл проекта — освежить без изменения. Разница почти незаметна, но это одновременно жест уважения к истории Arial и шаг вперёд для Are.na.
