ORY

URW DIN is a part of the DIN family, which is a typeface that was originally used to identify railroad cars in Germany. The DIN family got its start based on the German Standards Organization font number, which was DIN 1451.

This typeface was published through the URW Type Foundry, which is a German company that has a long history in type design.

URW DIN has a wide range of ways in which it could be used because of aspects like its large x-height and range of stroke widths. This typeface maintains readability even in small point, which makes it easy to work with on things such as business cards or product packaging.
