Yeah I know it's been around for a long time, but so has Eurostile...
Just seems like there are a lot of people using it lately. Especially on the web.

I don't see it used that much anymore, but I guess it does depend on where you're looking... I remember 4-5 years ago DIN and Interstate in all caps was the fashion...

Ofcourse you know DIN is not just a font, as it's name suggests it's the 'German Industrial Norm'. DIN is everything from Steelqualities to papersizes (A4 for example) to the ammount of dust that can enter an electrical device.. so if you say DIN is everywhere, you're more than right.

the din font (released in the 1930s - i read different dates) is based on a railway font from 1906. there are no person names - the 'designer' of din 1451 was an unknown craftsman who just had the job to execute the adaption of the old railway specimen outline for the commission of german industry norm.
