"De Letter"  - DIN 1451 // FF DIN

For our first school assignment we had to design a poster / foldable brochure based on a font that was assigned to you. The font DIN 1451 // FF DIN was assigned to me, which is mainly used for german highway traffic signs and street signs. That's why I chose to travel to germany and took a lot of pictures of the german highways and street signs.

In the Showcase: Aston Martin, 4AD and The Plant

Here are some more fabulous designs in our series showcasing web sites using Fontdeck.

Aston Martin was recently voted Britain's coolest brand for the fifth time in six years. Using Hermann Zapf's Classico throughout, the site conveys that sharp sense of cool and quality magnificently.

4AD is one of favourite indie record labels. Their redesigned site makes great use of DIN 1451 Mittelschrift in all their headings to enhance the low-key look which sums up the label beautifully.

The Plant is a London-based branding agency. They use Fontsmith's FS Clerkenwell Web throughout the site to give a contemporary look with a hint of the traditional.

Have you used Fontdeck web fonts on any new sites recently? Let us know in the comments or drop us a tweet.
