    I personally find DIN to be heavy-handed, clunky, and poorly kerned. The lowercase is particularly ungainly. I think just about any of the common sans families are drawn and constructed in better ways—be it Univers, Gotham, Helvetica, Franklin, Benton, etc. etc...

    • the appeal of DIN for me was always the awkward, utilitarian, industrial qualityRand
    • The "clunkiness" in part of the aesthetic, although I agree that some of the versions could be better constructed.ukit
    • If I want industrial, I'd go for something like Klavika...Scotch_Roman
    • Klavika is more "conscious" looking, whereas DIN seems like the byproduct of some alternate agendaRand
    • which lends a certain authentic charm, IMORand
