GREAT DESIGNERS USE FONT CUSTOMIZER
Fonts are (great looking) tools. And we think that designers should be able to change them, the same way people customize the weird and wonderful things in their lives.
We add a lot of alternate glyphs and other design possibilites to our fonts, so you can really fine-tune them according to what your project needs.
And you can even change their name! Everybody loves a thing with their name on it, trust me.
Try it, it’s free! <333
Recent collaboration
Areal, a new typeface custom-made by Dinamo for Are.na. You can read our conversation about its process here.
Early Access
The typefaces in this section are complete but unpublished designs that we want to release in a calm, considered way.
Think of them as “slow fonts”, available on request.
If you’d like to use them before their official release, please slide the lock and fill in the bits. Once unlocked, you can test, browse, and license them.

Dinamo Editions
The Dinamo Specimen 2 is a strangely shaped object featuring well-known Dinamo font classics, as well as lots of unpublished work from our drawers. It’s also the first to be designed in the DIN-AMO format, which allows it to fold out in wonderful ways.
Inspired by teen magazines that come with a foldout poster in the middle, we designed a newspaper that works in the same way. Five loose sheets, five posters, half type specimen, half reader.

A B C Dinamo Editions
Dinamo Editions is our small-scale, basement publishing imprint. We publish books on type and graphic design, often in collaboration with befriended artists and designers.
We recently launched a website where we share the specs, details, printing, and production methods for our books.

Worry-free Font licensing
Back in 2020, we were the first type foundry to introduce ”value-based” font licensing to this world.
The only metric one needs to know is the company size. That makes font licensing easy, safe, and transparent for everyone, both designers and companies (big or small).
Our approach has been adapted by many of leading foundries and colleagues ever since. Bless them.
