You can customize Dinamo fonts further.
Select your preferred character variants, modify how things look, and change the name of the font. Your new custom files are generated instantly.
How this works
Every typeface we make comes with a large number of character variants — alternate letterforms, different punctuation styles, and other design options that can be activated to adjust the tone of the typeface and make it fit a specific project.
After choosing your typeface, and right before completing the checkout process, you can launch the Font Customizer to select which alternate characters you'd like to make your new font's default. You can also give it a personalized name which will show up across all design applications.
This makes it dead simple to distribute a custom font internally and make sure everybody in a company is using the right one. We call it the Yassification of font file management.
Once you've downloaded your custom files, you can log in to your User Area and re-customize any time — swap punctuation styles, change a variant, rename it again. Your settings always stay editable.

Early Access
The typefaces in this section are complete but unpublished designs that we want to release in a calm, considered way.
Think of them as “slow fonts”, available on request.
If you’d like to use them before their official release, please slide the lock and fill in the bits. Once unlocked, you can test, browse, and license them.
Recent collaboration
Areal, a new typeface custom-made by Dinamo for Are.na. You can read our conversation about its process here.

Dinamo Editions
The Dinamo Specimen 2 is a strangely shaped object featuring well-known Dinamo font classics, as well as lots of unpublished work from our drawers. It’s also the first to be designed in the DIN-AMO format, which allows it to fold out in wonderful ways.
Inspired by teen magazines that come with a foldout poster in the middle, we designed a newspaper that works in the same way. Five loose sheets, five posters, half type specimen, half reader.

A B C Dinamo Editions
Dinamo Editions is our small-scale, basement publishing imprint. We publish books on type and graphic design, often in collaboration with befriended artists and designers.
We recently launched a website where we share the specs, details, printing, and production methods for our books.

Worry-free Font licensing
In 2020, we were the first type foundry to introduce “value-based” licensing. It makes working with fonts easy, safe, and transparent for designers and companies big and small — all you need to know is one metric: the size of your company. Our approach has since been adopted by many leading foundries and colleagues. Bless them.
