I'm not really talking about the original intent of design - I am talking about current usage and trends. I know the history of DIN very well. But itr seems to me that everybody that was using helvetica to be trendy a while back is now using DIN instead.
I can't seem to escape it here in NYC

using helvetica to be trendy? i know that helvetica neue had a boom but helvetica in general? that font is so embedded in typography, design, typesetting etc. since it's existence. basically from haas grotesk on up that you hardly can say it's a trend.

I stand corrected.

"Din to me is a RESPONSE to the overtly clean helvetica like typefaces - someone looking for something that is just like helvetica, but with more funk or something. I just don'r see it becoming a transcending classic in terms of usage."
DIN was definatly not designed with that concept in mind.
"oh yeah, let's make a helvetica witha funky attitude"
wtf???

Hildegard is pretty cool too, has sort of a calligraphic effect.

Interstate was way popular in the UK for a while: http://www.sainsburys.com/home/g… Still no UK road sign font though.
BTW Fontshop have both East Berlin and West Berlin as fonts based on German streetsigns. Wierd huh.
