Inclined letterforms for drawings, as defined in the German

For the upright equivalent, see DIN
17.
In 1923, Stempel released
Normen-Reform-Grotesk-Kursiv, a metal typeface that
closely followed this design. Berthold followed in 1924 with
Dinorm-Grotesk-Kursiv.
Berthold Fototypes shows two versions, both named
DIN 16. One is similar to the foundry typefaces of the
1920s, but distinguished by a beardless ‘G’ and a ‘W’ in which the
center vertex reaches full height. The other one is lighter and
wider, and matches their upright DIN 17. [Berthold 1974] Letraset offered DIN
16 [1969 leaflet] and added DIN
16m (for
Micronorm; used for sample) in 1975. See also Normalisé Din (Mecanorma, 1968).
Digitally available from Peter Wiegel as TGL 0-16
(2010), which was the name used in the GDR. See also the italic
