It shares many of the characteristics of itâs slightly older relation, but is drawn entirely from scratch and has itâs own unique character. Dynatype may be reminiscent of various mid-century neon signage, and of sign writing, Speedball alphabets and even baseball scripts. Its design also takes some cues from a historical typographic curiosity that began in Germany in the â20s and which lasted into the â60sâwhen Photo-Lettering gave it the name "Zip-Top". Basically it was believed to be the wave of the futureâthat by weighting an alphabet heavier in its top half, one could increase legibility and reading speed. The juryâs still out on whether or not thereâs any validity to this notion, but I think youâll agree that in the context of this design, the heavier weighting at the top of the letters helps to create some uniquely pleasing forms, and a font unlike any other. Typesetters across the planet will also be able to set copy in their language of choice.
